A special thanks goes out to Marie Bergin for her delicious scones and everyone who sponsored raffle prizes and helped during the day.
Congrats to the raffle winners: Bridget O'Neill (Tiffany Lamp) Fergus English (Christmas Hamper) and Michael O’Neill (whiskey).
A great night was had by all at the Christmas party on Friday, December 8 at the Anner Hotel, and a big thanks goes to Trish Hogan for the tasty mince pies and Mary Frances for the mulled wine at the pre-Christmas party drinks in Barron’s pub.
