Last chance for the Welcome Home Festival?

There is still some interest in the idea of another Welcome Home Festival for Currane in 2007. There will probably be a meeting either over St Patrick’s Weekend or Easter. Details of the meeting will be posted here. In the meantime, if you are in favour of another festival, or indeed have anything to say on the subject, please let us know.

Time for another Welcome Home Festival?

We all enjoyed the Welcome Home Festival in 2003 didn’t we? It will be etched in the memories of many Currane people for a long time to come. Now it’s time to start planning another one.
Planning for the 2003 Festival was started way in advance of the occasion and the Festival was such a success because of the careful planning and hard work of the committee. If there is to be another Welcome Home Festival in 2007, planning will need to start shortly.
There will be a meeting at our Community Centre, Glór na dTonn on December 27th at 3.00pm. If you enjoyed the last Festival, please try to attend and show support for the next one. Attendance at the meeting does not mean you will be forced onto a committee!
