 “The past couple of years have been difficult but we've come out the other end and we're absolutely delighted to be in a position to host a cracker of a weekend " exclaimed club chairperson Brian Cafferty.

"There’s something for everyone, whether it’s a sing-along, a dance or laughter, you will find it in the Mighty Marquee.

"We’re looking forward to having the whole community together for the first time in a long time and even if you don’t live locally, we would love for you to come along and enjoy the craic. You’d be surprised who you might see on stage."

"All funds raised will go directly to Geraldines GFC where we will be able to continue to upgrade and enhance our facilities. We have a great club and a growing community and it’s great to be able to give back.

"I’d like to thank everyone taking part and those who have raised funds and given up their precious time. I’d also like to thank our sponsors Tiernan’s Fairways Supervalu, Sports Direct, Connect Credit Union & Haggardstown Garden Centre.

The evenings may be getting darker but we’ll certainly light up next weekend. Everyone attending is most certainly in for a treat each night.”
