After a hearty meal meal the crowd entertained by some fine Irish dancing from 'Reel Rythym' and then some fine sketches from the Moore drama group.
Club Chairman Padraig Naughton welcomed everyone present, and he was followed by the County Chairman Michael Maguire who complemented the club on the work done in 2008.
