ACTIVE RETIREMENT CHRISTMAS PARTY:
The 16th year of the Active Retirement Christmas Party was held at the John Mitchels Club House in John Joe Sheehy Road last Saturday.

On an unusually mild and dry morning for December, volunteers began to arrive at the Club House from 8.00 a.m. onwards.

Floors were hoovered and tables were arranged and decorated in a festive manner. The numerous spot prizes were displayed on the stage which would be raffled later in the day.

Over 100 patrons began to arrive from noon onwards looking so well and dressed in their seasonal best. They were greeted by a glowing fire and the waft of turkey and ham dinners being prepared by the chef.

Before the Chairman said Grace, he thanked the generosity and kindness of the many sponsors, the fabulous meal prepared by Gallys and the many volunteers involved in the planning of the event and their contribution on the day.

Last but not least he thanked the patrons for coming on the day and wished them all Seasons Greeting and good health for the New Year.

Following the meal the spot prizes were raffled prior to the arrival of the many musicians and a special appearance from Santa himself.

The musicians played many old favourites and the patrons joined in with dance and song and many volunteered to sing and do their party pieces. Fr Tadgh Fitzgerald arrived and mingled among the folk.

It was wonderful to see all the smiling faces and the laughter and chit chat all around the club house.

Certainly Community and the Active Retirement Party held in the John Mitchels GAA Club go hand in hand and we look forward to doing it all again next year.
