GOLD COASTERS
Our group took some time off golf last Thursday in preparation for our Christmas night out. It turned out to be one of our most memorable nights when two very special guests turned up to join in our festivities. In the midst of our pre-dinner drinks and cocktails, Seamus Power and his beautiful new bride Casey joined us in the bar for a few drinks and chat, all arranged by his aunt Rita who is part of our group.
It was an absolute delight to be in their company for an hour and we appreciate that they took the time to come and visit us during a very busy honeymoon schedule. We would like to congratulate them on their recent Nuptials and wish them both a long and happy life together.
We eventually made our way to the restaurant after all the excitement in the bar to partake of a sumptuous dinner all served up by their wonderful staff. The layout and table decoration was fabulous and perfect for our large group, thanks to Martin and Carla.
When dinner was finished Anne did a raffle with pickout gifts for everybody in the audience. As per usual Anne had such a fantastic selection of gifts on offer, it was mind boggling. Thanks a mill for everything you do for our group, it is really appreciated.
