Enjoyable Ceili Club Christmas party Ceili took place on Tuesday evening last in the Community Centre. Wonderful live music was provided by Michael Duffy & Brian & Sean Walsh. Pauline & Linda serving lovely food, along with Margaret’s home baking. Thanks to Rosaleen and the ladies for organising a lovely evening for present, past and visiting dancers. Sadly on the night we said our farewells to a dedicated member of the Ceili club, Margaret Campbell who is moving to pastures new. We wish Margaret all the best for the future and we hope she will return on occasion to join us on the dance floor.
