GRANAGH PLAYERS:

Aprés ' Ear to the Ground ' fame, the producer will probably bring us down to earth again fairly quickly. She will be stepping up the
pressure for the next month, time will fly by, and it looks like short Christmas holidays ? We are hoping to be ready for the last two
weekends in January.
Well done to all who appeared and spoke on the programme, they came across very well and did us all proud. Thanks to everyone
who met up at short notice, facilitated the farm visits and provided meals for the crew, everything worked out. The apple tarts and
sponge cakes went down a treat. Tom had the cows trained so well that they didn't even interrupt during his speech.! We all looked
like we knew our lines off !
The only complaint I overheard was ' the Bird ' felt he should have used more make-up.
