Amongst our dancers was Doris Shire, Mungret, the well known singer who entertained us with a few songs.    Best wishes also to

Ita McQuaid who celebrated her birthday recently.   Thanks to all our helpers on the day, much appreciated.    The Christmas dance will

be held on 18th December with music by Pakie Moloney & Seamus Sheehy.

 

BANOGUE  DRAMA:

Mary Liston, cast and crew are over the first weekend and are delighted everything has gone so well.   You can see allot of work has been put into it and the result is a very well produced production, that tells a sad story intermingled with comedy and hilarious characters.   Members of Granagh Players have attended and reported back that it was excellent.    So the rest of us are  eagerly looking forward  to seeing it.

GERRY  DUFFY:

He spoke in Rathkeale on Monday night and was absolutely brilliant.   If ever he is giving a talk in the area again,  all I can say is - do not miss it

and bring your children to hear him, his story is inspirational.
