Raphoe
Raphoe "Rebels" Foroige club held a very successful disco in the Marathon hall on Friday 20th of November. Clubs from all around the county attended and an enjoyable night was had by all. All proceeds were in aid of the Omagh Fund. The club would like to thank Paddy Martin and Mark Quinn of the Town and Country bar for all their help on the night.
The parents and teachers of Raphoe Central NS are holding their annual bazaar in the Cathedral hall today, Friday at 7.30pm. Stalls will include cake, bottle, craft, 50p parcel, white elephant, Christmas pouch, lucky dips and the Rickety Wheel with prizes galore. All welcome.
The November meeting of the Raphoe I.C.A. was held in the Raphoe Presbyterian Hall. Audrey Starritt, President, welcomed two new members to the meeting. She gave a report on the 'Fun Night' that was held in the Mount Errigal Hotel. The proceeds of this function have been donated by the Omagh Fund. Jean McKean, the guest speaker for International Night, told the members of her visit to India. She described many aspects of life there, including the life-style on the hilltops, the desert and the town. She entertained the members with slides of the people and places. This was enjoyed by everyone. A vote of thanks to Mrs. McKean was proposed by Violet Duncan. Audrey Starritt won the competition for a post-card from abroad, and Myrtle Quinn was awarded second place. Tea hostesses for the evening were Etta Hayes, Myrtle Quinn and Jean Reynolds.
