VEHICLE RUN
A hugely successful Vehicle Run was held in glorious sunshine on Sunday, March 12, in aid of Caroreigh Church Fund. The cortege left Camross Hall at 1 p.m., stopped off in Galbally for half an hour and then back to Camross Hall where delicious stew and other refreshments were served by the local ladies.
Fr Robert thanked Camross Hall, Mary and Gerald Kelly for the mouth watering stew, all who helped as stewards in car park and at cross roads, all who provided and served food in hall and finally all who took part in the event or those that gave donations and spot prizes. Well done and thanks to all.
CAMROSS ICA
Our last meeting was held on Monday, March 6, at 8 p.m. in Camross Hall.
The ladies were delighted with the freshly painted room and its new lovely lino. Minutes, Correspondence, and Finance were dealt with by Margaret Nolan, Margaret O’Gorman (Poulpeasty), Dympna Kelly and Breda Banville. Sympathy was extended to Marian Donnelly for the recent passing of her cousin.
Dympna congratulated Marian Donnelly for coming fourth in the recent ‘creative writing’ competition at An Grianán (ICA Head Office) and Mary Kelly, who came second in the Cherry Cake competition. Mary Kelly was also complimented for organising a very successful Cookery Demo which was very much enjoyed but many of the ladies. Congratulations also went to the Camross Team, who won the table quiz that was recently held in Byrnes in Bree. Well done to all these talented ladies.
