AIB Award for Clodagh Macra
Majella, Alan and Teresa with the cheque
Clodagh Macra have been named as one of the Top Three Clubs in the country in the AIB Club of the Year competition for the second year running. The great news was announced on Saturday last at the Macra National Conference (The Rally) in Bantry, where club committee members Teresa Kennedy and Majella Carey gave a presentation to a huge Macra crowd. Athboy of Meath were awarded first place and Clodagh were awarded joint runners up with Knockraha of Cork. A cheque for €850 was presented to the club. Teresa and Majella were also awarded best presenters on the night! This is a huge achievement for our club to be rated as one of the best for the second year running and we would like to thank our dedicated committee members and our very enthusiastic members, without whom Clodagh would not have achieved this. To keep our club on top we are always looking for new members and if any of our activities interest you or you just want a good night out, check out Clodagh Macra!
Over 20 Clodagh members travelled to Bantry for the weekend and all that went had a great time. There was fancy dress on the Friday night and we danced and sang the night away on Saturday and Sunday. Some even had enough energy to go siteseeing! The fun doesn’t end there. This Friday night in the Ragg there is a full agenda. At nine there is a meeting for those taking part in Capers. Afterwards there will be music to "Ring of Fire" and a DJ, where North Tipp Macra and beyond will dance the night away. The interviews for the personality competitions will take place also.
