Top parade entries are presented with awards
The St Patrick’s Day Parade awards were handed out last Thursday evening in a ceremony at Greystones Municipal District offices.
Holyhead Sea Cadets were among those to receive an award, and were presented with Best Uniformed Entry. Lieutenant Commander Sue Williams presented a framed photograph to Cathaoirleach Derek Mitchell as a thank you.
The Cadets had travelled over for the St Patrick’s weekend celebrations.
Lieutenant Commander Sue Williams expressed her thanks and appreciation for their welcome and the wonderful hospitality of the people of Greystones. Representatives from the Cadets came back to Greystones especially for the awards evening.
The Sea Cadets had spent many months fundraising for their trip to Ireland.
They enjoyed their time in Greystones, staying at the YWCA Coolnagreina on Trafalgar Road.
They attended the 1st Wicklow 2nd Dublin St. Kilian’s Scouts Big Breakfast on St Patrick’s Day morning, and a second big breakfast at the Harbour Café, Greystones Harbour Marina, on the Sunday morning.
Greystones Sailing Club hosted the contingent for the Wales vs France rugby match on Saturday afternoon.
