Photographers on the night were Mike Ryan and Mandy Harkin what can I say a picture is worth a thousand words and again they did a great job.

The night started with a cheese and wine reception supplied by Tipperary Co-Op and Gleeson Group. Local stalls plying their wares on the night also added to the experience. We had a best dressed lady competition, prize €100 voucher for First Editions. Winner on the night was Fiona Looby who was up against some stiff competition. It wasn’t an easy job for the judges. A raffle was also ran with three lovely hampers from Proctor & Gamble, En Paris voucher, jewellery from Templemore Jewellers, chocolates and wine from Toomevara Aloe Vera.

Firstly they got venue, shops on board, tickets sold, modelled, helped with make up/hair, helped on the night with wine, raffle door, stage, organised models etc.. Thanks to all the businesses, volunteers, people who were who supported us on the night and people who bought tickets. Thanks also for all the positive feedback received during the week, it is lovely to hear such compliments. It was a successful night for the Camogie Club.

Borrisoleigh Community Development Association would like to thank all those who supported this year’s spring clean. This includes all the adults and children who turned up on Monday evening and during the day on Monday, to pick litter from around the town and graveyard. Thanks also for the support of North Tipperary County Council and An Taisce for the supply of gloves, bags, litter pickers etc. Once again we’ve collected two horse trailers of litter from the town and approach roads. Thanks again to all the volunteers who gave up their time and energy to make Borrisoleigh a cleaner, greener more beautiful place to live. This year’s Spring Clean was the largest to date.
