ST PATRICK’S DAY PARADE
Another Clonroche St Patrick’s Day parade is being planned by Clonroche Development Association. This is a major showcase for organisations and businesses in the area to present their community in a positive perspective on the National Day.
It is envisaged that the support and goodwill of previous years will be expressed in making this year’s exhibition one of the biggest parades in the spectacle’s nine-year history.
We hope to have more floats in this year’s parade and we understand that planning is at an advanced stage within some businesses, sporting and community groups. The popularity of this event can be demonstrated by the fact that local ladies normally attending Cheltenham for ladies day are foregoing the opportunity of attending this year’s event and instead displaying their finery in Clonroche on St Patrick’s Day.
It will also present an opportunity for local business in the village by attracting visitors and community onlookers and it is hoped, as in previous year’s, they will avail of the opportunity and contribute in making this day a spectacle to remember.
Assembly at 1 p.m. in John Mernagh’s Equestrian Premises at Coolroe Cross – Sports and Voluntary Groups Assembly at 1 p.m. in Glanbia Mill. Parade will be timed to pass the viewing stand at 2 p.m. Participation is free but please provide a short synopsis of your company or float, written on a card, as this will be helpful to the viewing platform.
