Welcome to Ashbourne Céilí Club

January is a lean month for scribes likes yours truly so I thought I’d recount some of the happenings from our Christmas party. We held it in our local Ashbourne House Hotel and fair play to them the meal was beautiful and the setting suitable festive.

The first blip was the announcement that Santa couldn’t make it – the Eurostar was grounded due to weather conditions while crossing from mainland Europe to the UK. However, luckily the sack of presents had been delivered and our chairman, Noel, finally getting the hang of this multitasking.

The next blip was the actual presents. Now I don’t know if Santa is getting Alzheimer’s or just needs to visit Specsavers but how can you confuse the words support tights and a walking cane for fishnet tights and a whip! It’s just as well the recipient has a sense of humour because Santa or no Santa, she’d have a strong case for the Ombudsman and I believe he’s very sympathetic to O. A. P’s.

Would you like to BE A PART OF IT?  Join us any Tuesday night in Gaelscoil na Cille (Irish School) behind Community Centre) at 8.30 pm
