Jimmy's cancer fundraisers upcoming

It's that time of year again folks, for our Irish Cancer Society annual events, writes Jimmy Aspell.

A big congratulations to Michael Dillon and crew who have already completed the parachute jump, and next up on Saturday 6 September is our Music and Casino Night in The Spout, tickets on sale at €5 and these can be exchanged for chips on the night. The music lineup is Leinster Award winner 2014, the brilliant Bernie Heaney; Reg Plunkett; Kevin Barnes; Kevin Swayne; Tommy Lawle; yours truly; my daughter Leah; and the band for the night are the brilliant 'Last Chance'. This is shaping up to be a very interesting night, please, please support us.

And to finish off our events for 2014 we have a Barbecue Morning and pitch and putt competition on Sunday 14 september, this is courtesy of Derek Courtney and friends. This is a great fun day for all the family. Registration at 9.30am and donations can be made on the day or through sponsorship cards available in The Spout.

Prizes will be presented in The Spout at approximately 12.30pm.

So we have a busy few weeks ahead — looking forward to seeing you all there. Thank you.
