THE WEDNESDAY SESSION

The Wednesday afternoon music sesions have now been running

for over four years

and are as popular as ever;

It's not just all music and song,

but occasionally a little dancing,

plenty of banter,

and some can manage to fit in a little knitting simultaneously! 

Left ro right:   

Cáit Galvin, Eileen O'Brien and Alice Power.

Two of the 'entertainers' on this occasion were:

Davy ('Busty') Griffin - accordionist, singer and more, 

also Margaret Dooley - singer and sometimes demonstrating a mazurka

to the air of 'Shoe the Donkey'!

Birthdays are always remembered with a cake and candles.

On this occasion it was a joint celebration between

Pol Sexton and Peggy Brophy

with Annie Dooley looking on from the left.

Presenting the cake is Alice Kiersey,

the centre manager.
