Fáilte Abhaile Festival – Three weeks and counting!

Hi all,

I’m dropping a note to remind everyone that the Fáilte Abhaile Festival 2007 is just about three weeks away now and the clock is certainly ticking. Most of the main events have been organised at this stage and the final programme will be completed and circulated within the next week.

As you probably know, events include golf, yawl racing, family sports day, family barbecue and trad session, photo exhibition, ceili and a special mass to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the church.

The closing buffet will take place on Monday night 6th August in Ostán Oileáin Acla (Alice’s to you and me!) and tickets are now on sale at €20 per person. There is a limited number of tickets available for this night and you can arrange to book tickets now with Helen Gallagher (086-4063675). Some tickets will be for sale over the Festival weekend but none on the door on the night.

You can also now buy or place orders for the souvenir polo shirts which have a special 2007 logo designed by the kids in Currane National School and the Ógras group. Shirts are €25 and you can contact Michéal Ruddy at (086-4077666) for yours. Kids shirts are available too for €5.

Finally and most importantly, we really, really need volunteers to help out with events throughout the weekend. We have kids art workshops on Friday, a teen disco on Friday night, family treasure hunt on Saturday, barby on Saturday afternoon and football on Sunday. There’s also a clean up of the village the weekend before the Festival, not to mention traffic management and stewarding for the sport events in particular.

If you are willing to help out with any of these events please let any of the Committee know or reply by email. We also have a meeting scheduled after mass on every Sunday between now and the Festival so please come along.

If everyone helps out a little bit, even for an hour or two over the whole weekend, we can make sure that the Festival is a great success and a great weekend for everyone.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Currane in a few weeks. Please feel free to anyone with Currane connections or affections.

Sinéad.

Maureen C. Witham – 25th January 2007

From: Maureen C. Witham, 25th January 2007
Jemma daughter of David and Maureen Witham (Melmoe) was married to Mark Goulds on December 23rd 2007 in London.

I thought the family in Currane might like to see a couple of snaps of Jemma and Marks wedding. The first is of Jemma and Mark. The second shows David and Maureen with their children Jemma, Hannah and James.

Best wishes to everyone for 2007
Maureen
