AH, the 1980s!
Perms, stonewashed denim jackets and leg warmers were the height of fashion, Stock, Aiken and Waterman soundtracked our lives, teenage girls swooned over Tom Cruise in Top Gun and boys dreamt of Kim Basinger.
May God have mercy on our souls.
Anyway, you can relive the retina-scorching fashions and synth-heavy pop ‘choons’ at a special fundraising 80s disco and draw at the Ballyroe Heights Hotel on Saturday, February 13, in aid of Spa National School.

The Parents Association has been very busy preparing for what promises to be a night to remember.
Everyone is invited to get out the old 80’s gear and get dressed up, should they wish to. If they would prefer not to, that’s no problem.
There will be prizes for the best dressed on the night. Local DJ Chris Shortt will be on hand to play everyone’s favourite tracks from the 80s and there will be lots of novelty games and prizes, with finger food also being served during the evening.
“There has been a very positive response to the event and everyone is really looking forward to a fun night out.” said Deirdre Falvey, Chairperson of the Parents Association.

Those who buy a ticket but can’t attend will still be included in the ‘Valentine’s Draw also being held on the night. The school has secured ten quality prizes, including B/& B stays in top hotels, Spa breaks, Family Photography shoots, Family Leisure Centre memberships, meal vouchers etc as well as a beautiful painting from local artist John Hurley.
“We are very appreciative of the brilliant support we have received from the local community,” said school principal Peter Linehan, “and look forward to investing all monies raised in new curricular resources for the school.”
If you would like to purchase a ticket for the Disco/Draw, you can contact the school on (066) 7136618.
