CHRISTMAS TREE CEREMONY
The Tullyallen Christmas Tree lighting ceremony was a great success and the organisers would like to extend their appreciation to the people that make this possible every year. There are just too many to mention each individually but a special word of thanks to the following,
Kevin Carolan, Niall Russell & Santa! Mr. Moonan and his wonderful singers from Tullyallen National School, Eoghan Donnelly for his wonderful piping skills. Fr Dooley, The Gardai, especially Derek O Donoghue who provide much needed traffic control each year. This year, we would also like to thank Pat and Stuart Carolan from the Morning Star who ensured that the set up ran smoothly. Their assistance in organising and providing the wonderful refreshments for all afterwards is much appreciated. We also had wonderful vocals from Kevin O Sullivan that Stuart organised. To Niamh Sherwin Barry and the Irish Fairy Door Company who facilitated a request from the Christmas Fairy to come and live by the tree and finally, to Adrian Gogarty who kindly gave her a home!!
Without these people and so many others, it would not be possible each year and we are grateful for their support. The Committee would like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a very Happy & Healthy Christmas & New Year.

TULLYALLEN TRACTOR RUN
The organizers of the Tractor run would like to say to everyone involved in Tullyallen Tractor Run that they wish you all a very happy new year. They hope that 2019 will bring you everything you desire (and that you’ll all be ready to tog out for the next tractor run). A big thank you once again to everyone who supported the run last over Christmas. They cannot thank you all enough for your continued support over the past 4 years and we hope that it will continue into the future. Without all of you, this event would not be possible. Without you, raising these tremendous amounts of money for charity would not be possible. Until next year....
