Compères Mary O’Keeffe and Rose Murphy kept the fast paced show running smoothly throughout the evening with their creative descriptio­ns of the clothing and light hearted banter with the audience.

Organisers paid tribute to Jackie Murphy of Glamour & Beauty for her help, and added a huge thanks to everyone who modelled at the event, in addition they gave a mention to Pat Casey, Roger Casey and Alan Lynch for constructi­ng the Catwalk.

Tina Enright was thanked for preparing the programmes as were committee members Gertie Casey, Bridget Ann Fitzgerald, Margaret Herlihy, Teresa Cashman, Ned Vaughan and Teresa Hickey for helping to organise the show.

Marie Casey further thanked Eileen Daly for co-ordinating all the shops that provided the clothing and the sponsors who donated spot prizes for the raffle.
