VETERAN PLAYERS GROUP

We have been quiet for a while, planning our next project. We hope all our followers and supporters are well and safe. Our next project is a book of historical photos connected to the community, people and places. Now that the world is quite waiting for the end of this crisis, we are asking you to look up your old photograph­s, so we can consider publishing them. It is also an opportunit­y to remind ourselves of the generation­s who endured much more than is being asked of us. If you have old photograph­s let someone on committee know, we can arrange to scan them and return immediatel­y. Photos can be scanned and emailed to maggie1980@live.ie.
