Social Dancing
Our social dance which took place on Friday night 5th April was a marvelous success. There was a great turn out which was greatly appreciated. This success is down to the hard work of Gary Daly, PJ Camon and John Keegan. A special word of thanks to James Christie for supplying extra lighting on the night. Also thanks to Jackie Coughlan and Siobhan Doyle for all their help. We had a visit from Jim Loughman of Stella FM who was promoting the new radio station which will take in areas such as Birr, Lorrha, Roscrea, Rathcabbin, Portumna, Terry Glass, Carrig and Riverstown. We wish Jim well on his new venture and it will be a great service to the Birr and surrounding areas. If you wish to contact Jim with good ideas feel free to do so on 0863024944. A very important note for our dancing patrons. Our dancing time changes from the original 9.30pm start to 10pm start for the summer months only.
