4 dates for the diary

On Monday Dec 16 Craftshop na Méar will hold its first Cois Tine event. The theme is Christmas. Gabriel Fitzmaurice, Billy Keane, Seán Lyons and Kay Caball will provide some Christmas themed entertainment. Vincent Carmody is going to take us on a trip down Memory Lane to Christmasses in Listowel in the 1950s. These and more will enliven the afternoon from 2.00p.m. onwards. Refreshments will be provided by Scribes.  All in cost €5.

The good people at The Seanchaí have some stuff lined up before that.
