Irish night 2008 success

The annual Irish music night was this year held at a new venue the Shamrock Club in Welwyn Garden City. For the £5 entry there were two fabulous bands plus some traditional Irish dancing and the usual raffle. The event was attended by over 150 people who all had a good time and a few even did some dancing!
The charity managed to raise £1175 which will go to support our projects in The Gambia.

Our thanks go to everyone who supported the event especially the two bands, the dancers and the staff at the Shamrock Club for their hospitality.

We look forward to seeing you all next year!
