Great night was had by all – and lots of medals given out.
Apologies for short notice but if anyone is available at 11 am tomorrow morning and feels like a bit of gardening, you’d be more than welcome to join us in Le Chéile Park to plant some snowdrops in the green – just before they die back fully.
If you can make it, bring a trowel and a kneeler with you.
With thanks to Seán Radley from Millstreet, who sent us on these pictures of the awards night.
