A SPECIAL THANKS FROM CASTLETOWNROCHE CONGREGATION

On behalf of St. Mary’s Church, Castletownroche congregation, we would like to thank each and every one that came and joined us for the buffet supper and raffle on Friday, 6th May in the Community Centre in Castletownroche.

We would like to say thanks to Downey’s Spar for sponsoring the meat and to all the ladies for providing the food. We would also like to say thanks to the hall committee for the use of the hall and facilities, and to everyone who helped in getting the hall ready and the food served, and not forgetting the cleaning up!

We would also like to say thanks to each and everyone for buying and selling raffle lines. I don’t think any of us like selling raffle lines, but I would like to say a special word of thanks to all who bought them and for the kindness, generosity, hospitality and encouragement shown to us over the last few weeks while selling tickets. As everyone knows it takes a lot of time and effort, so thanks to each and everyone involved in any way.

Congratulations to all our 13 prize winners as follows: Robert Gardiner (Ballyclough), Linda Ferguson (Edenderry), Tom Cooney, John & Marie Nagle (Doneraile), Wentie Millar (Conna), Aisling Buckley, Fr. Robin, Linda Deane (Doneraile), Margaret Fouhy, Frankie Nash, Nuala O’Reilly (Ballyhooly), Christy Roche and Tim Foley.

Thanks to McDonnell Bros, McCarthy Insurance Fermoy, John O’Neill Oil, Dairygold, Sheehan’s Farm Shop Castletownroche, FBD Insurance Mallow, Great Wall Chinese Castletownroche, Barry’s Tea, Duffy’s Pharmacy Castletownroche, L&A Hair & Beauty Castletownroche, Karen’s Beauty & Skin Clinic, Fermoy and Nash’s Garage, Castletownroche for the wonderful range of raffle prizes and others who donated anonymously; without you, it wouldn’t be possible to have a raffle.
