Friday night was party night for senior citizens which was a very well organized event by the Youth Club. It started at 6.30 in the old church with Mass celebrated by Father O Hanlon with everybody sitting at table something like the Last Supper. After Mass Tom and his staff from The Bog Oak served up a tradional turkey and ham dinner with dessert tea or coffee and special Christmas cake prepared by Maureen Thornhill.
After dinner theyouth who are learning various wind instruments put the icing on the cake with an assortment of well prepared tunes and carols.
Tables were removed and the room made ready for dancing with music provided by a member of The Indians which people remembered playing at the Shannonbridge Carnival in the late Seventies when 2,500 people filled the marquee.
The music continued to nearly midnight with songs from Rose Ryan Pat Keohane Mick Killeen and Chrissie Reynolds. Pauric Henry stole the show with his rendition of "Is this the way to Amerillo" Tom and Lena Turley were wondering if Tom and Margaret Carty would make the trip but alas they did'nt. If you had a chance to attend and did not come along well you missed out.A great night and well done to all concerned in the organizing.
