Rosslare Harbour
WALK FOR TRÓCAIRE
On December 26, St Stephen’s morning the residents of Rosslare Harbour and Kilrane are holding a fundraising 3km walk on behalf of Trocaire. This family friendly event begins at 11.30 from the Railway Social Club, traveling down Ballygillane, returning on the main road and finishing at the Railway Social Club, who have kindly sponsored tea or coffee on our return.
Donations of €10 per couple/ family would be gratefully received for this wonderful charity. Last year with your help we raised over €800 for Trocaire, this year we would love to reach the €1,000 mark. Please bring your Santa Hat on the day to make it a festive occasion. Please help us make a difference and support this wonderful charity. For further details contact Claire O’Rourke 087 2533328.
Until Love Conquers Fear This Christmas Trócaire are asking you to remember the children affected by the conflicts in warn torn countries around the world.

Right now 3.1 million people require life-saving assistance.
Trócaire supports vulnerable communities when emergencies strike. Your support will help build a more just world and change lives for the better.

Our ‘comic members’ have been very busy recently performing sketches for fundraisers and Christmas parties over the last few weeks which included a concert in aid of Baby Lucy Wall on Saturday, November 30, in Rathangan Hall, Bannow Historical Society’s Christmas party in Wellingtonbridge on Saturday, December 7, and Our Lady’s Island Old Folks Christmas party in Ferrycarrig Hotel on Sunday, December 15.
Well done to all the students at Bridgetown College, who took part in their recent production of ‘All Shook Up’ but a special mention must go to our members Josh Quigley-Power, Jack O’Brien and Justine Murphy, who were all excellent on stage and also to Rory, Conor and Cian Cassidy, who were part of the backstage and lighting crew. We are very proud of you all. C.
hristmas party time took place for us on Friday, December 6, in Mary Barry’s, Kilmore where we got together and enjoyed a fabulous meal (washed down with a few beverages) Thanks to the staff for looking after us so well, a great night was had by all.
Rehearsals for our circuit play; ‘Dreamland’ have been going very well but unfortunately due to illness one of our stalwart members, Con Doyle has had to take a step back from his character. Readings took place to replace his character last week and Shay Hannon was the successful candidate and will now play ‘Doc’. Best of luck, Shay.
We wish our dear friend Con all the best and look forward to having him back threading the boards very soon.
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas. A special thank you for all your support in 2019 and hope 2020 is good to you all.
