Hello all. Just to let you know that due to exploratory fracking on the sports field today’s Sport Relief events will now be taking place in the children’s section of the library. None of the sports such as high jump, hurdles, 1 mile run, tug of war etc, will be adversely effected although we would ask everyone to remove outdoor shoes at the library entrance and participate wearing slippers or ballet shoes, as we’ve just had all the shag-pile carpets shampooed. See you later. Mayor Gary Grimsby
Hi to all, this is to remind you that tickets are still available for tonight’s St Patrick’s Day concert in the front bar. This year we’re lucky to have Truck Morrison & The Blarney Stones playing all night and no doubt through til morning. Recently voted the nations’ 224th favourite Van Morrison and Rolling Stones covers band (as voted for in The Daily Telegraph), the 22 piece band will be playing whilst running on the spot to raise money for tomorrow’s Sport Relief. Irelands’ favourite DJ Graham Norton will be compering the event and Michael Flatley‘s sister Maddy has promised to pop by to perform the whole of Riverdance on her own whilst the band plays. There’ll also be a St Patrick’s buffet so come down and jig along. Doors open at 6.46, and tickets cost £134.50. Tonight’s featured real ale is Shane MacGowen’s Smile, and we’ve also got a few old garden gnomes (painted to look like lovely leprechauns) for sale. So see you this evening.
