Shannonbridge Active Retirement Group
Another year has gone by for members of the Active Retirement Group with many more pleasant experiences shared.  Our Tuesday morning meetings are light-hearted get-togethers where we plan, prepare, discuss, have a laugh and of course a cuppa! 
On the 20th June we held our annual Summer social which was attended by members of many other Active Retirement Groups.  This was a great evening with plenty of banter and chat and dancing to the music of Paudge Bennett.  We would like to express our gratitude to Mrs Irene McLoughlin who gave us a beautiful picnic hamper for a raffle, the proceeds of which will go towards an outing in September.  Members were also treated to a cruise on the Shannon and visit to Clonmacnois visitor centre by Shannonbridge Action Group as part of the launch of the self-guided tours of the Fortifications in Shannonbridge.  Congratulations to Fr. Frank O’Hanlon on celebrating his Golden Jubilee.  We presented him with a small gift on behalf of the ARA.
“For all that has been, Thanks,
  For all that will be, Yes”
