CASTLEISLAND NEWS
The Castleisland Hospice fundraising committee have announced November 25 as the date for the popular hospice dinner dance.
For several years the local group organised the Black and White Ball before taking a break for sometime. In the 2015 a dinner dance was held in conjunction with the Con Houlihan Memorial weekend and such was the success that as the saying goes it is back by popular demand.
The dinner dance will be held in the River Island hotel, Flog the Dog will provide the after dinner entertainment and will be followed by a disco late into the night.
The event is expected to be a sell out so it is advisable to contact a committee member to book your tickets in advance. For further details or booking contact 086 2833328. 087 2329415.
