SET DANCING IN MATHEW’S, COLLON

It was hell for leather last Monday night 19th March in Mathew’s Lounge, Collon, where the attendance enjoyed the very best of music, song, set-dancing and refreshmen­ts.

Music was provided by Paddy and Oliver Reilly, and Kieran Weldon, while the sets were called by John Mc Evoy and Mairead Devane. With four sets dancing at all times, this was another very successful ‘Out and About’ Set Dancing Session promoted by the Teach Raithneach and Sandpit Set Dancers. Thanks to all who supported the event, and all at Mathews for their help and support on the night.

COMMUNITY ALERT

If you are going on holidays or if you will be away from your home for a few days for whatever reason, please let your neighbours know. It is important that someone is keeping an eye on your property. It is important also that you have someone that will keep an eye out if you are absent due to a family occasion, like a funeral or wedding. Homes and property have been targeted in the past on such occasions. It is recommende­d that, YOU DO NOT, announce you holiday intentions on any of the Social Media platforms! The criminals are social media savvy, and use these platforms as part of their strategic plan. Do what you can to upset their apple-cart, and ensure that they do not have a fruitful day! Thanks for looking out for each other.
