for the Street Children.   

All  most welcome for a cuppa or two.

MASS COLLECTION:

Saturday night 16th  Oct:   A collection will be held for the Disabled Drivers Association.   There are four thousand five hundred 

members in Ireland and as with every organisation,  funding is being cut.   Their cars are their lifeline.!  Even a little will make a 

difference,  as we know everyone is under pressure at the moment.

Music by ' The Nightingales ',  2.30pm to 5.30pm.   High Tea and Raffle.   Looking forward to seeing old friends and new.

We hope the ladies don't mind too much, supplying their beautiful home baking again.   It is the high point of the evening.

Lotto Teams:  Sales of the lotto are a vital part of funding and help with the day to day expenses of the Club.    At present we have

only nine parents involved in selling the lotto which is not enough to keep it going.   The managers have given out forms to all their teams

requesting more volunteers.   A team of four people will be asked to do, only one month of Fridays, each year.   

Giving a little of your time would make an awful difference.

GRANAGH  PLAYERS:

They are back rehearsing again.   The casting couch was pulled out and dusted down for Jimmy as a fine crowd turned up for the auditions .

We have three new faces so far this year.   Jimmy has decided on the play  ' The Shaughraun ' , for our entertainment.   He has already cast ten of 

the parts,  but there are still four or five more, so its not too late for anyone interested to give in your name.
