PHOTO EXHIBITION THANKS

The recent photo exhibition was a huge success with great crowds over the two days of the bank holiday weekend. A lot of memories, chats, stories were shared. Thanks to everyone who attended. Special thanks to the multitude of people who donated photos, helped with the assembly and disassembly of the entire set. The process of returning photos to their owners begins now. Congratulations to Achonry/Mullinabreena Enhancement group for organising another excellent community event helping breathe some life back in to the parish. No doubt there are plans afoot for the next gathering.
