ALWAYS A GREAT DAY
Thankfully, it's once again 'business as normal' for our point-to-point committees and the really good news is that crowds have returned in strength for what is always a great day out. Following successful meetings in Tallow and Knockanard, the expectation is that things will be even bigger and better in Rockmills.
The hardworking committee in Kildorrery wish to thank everyone who assists (financially or practically) in making the day such a success. This support and goodwill is much appreciated.
