Roger Grogan, Treasurer of the Bansha Show Committee said, “This is our most successful Senior Citizen’s Party to date with ninety-two people sitting for their meal. I believe this is down to momentum and now there are younger senior citizens are joining in; they’re not overawed by their age anymore. Once a younger senior citizen comes, then their friends will come too.
Our community has lost a lot of friends this year and we’d like to give a special mention to Frankie McDonnell. He was one of the old characters and was a great friend to the community of Bansha. r.”
Chairperson John Magnor was delighted with the turn out. “We have a record crowd here today, more than we’ve had for years – maybe we’re just getting older!”
After a beautiful meal, the music and craic was mighty provided by Willie Bun & Anthony O’Connor and The Porter Boys Ailbe Grace, Sean Quinn and Paddy Byron.
