Thanks to all our float team

We would like to say a big "thank you" to everyone who helped in any way with our Saint Patrick’s Day float. It was a minor miracle that it all came together in less than a week with the bulk of the work happening in the final three days. The float would never have happened without the kindness of David Burlingham who gave us the trailer to build our creation on. Maggy, George & Ronan were instrumental in turning the initial designs into a thing of beauty and wonder. On the day of the parade Gareth, Clare, Chris and Babs flanked the float wonderfully through the streets of Ardee. Lorraine very kindly kept the club open while everyone else was parading.
The main driving force behind it though were Niamh and Peter who worked tirelessly to pull all the elements of the float build together and then got it into and back from Ardee on the day.

We would especially like to say a big thank you to all the members of the club who wished us luck and complemented the team for the great efforts on the day. It is not every day that you see a lady in a jacuzzi and and octopus travelling down Ardee main street. We hope that it brought a smile to everyone’s faces and helped celebrate the feast day of our patron saint in a fun way.
