The Parish Bazaar.

A special word of thanks to all who did such great work on Sunday night, ticket sellers and stage hands, to make the Parish Bazaar such a huge success. I would like to thank sincerely you the people of the parish who contributed so generously as Sponsors. The promoters who collected for the bazaar throughout the parish, those who attended on the night in such large numbers. Without your support and backing the Bazaar would never be the great parish event that it has become. Thanks also to the GAA Centre for the use of the hall and those who helped prepare the hall for the night and cleared away afterwards. There are still a few sponsors to be contacted hopefully I will get a warm reception. When the final total is completed it will be published in the newsletter.
