St. Geralds College Castlebar Class of 1978 to 1984 Reunion Saturday 20th November 2004 It may come as a surprise, or a shock, but twenty years have now passed since we were released on society from St. Geralds College, Castlebar. That period has been marked by the deep recession of the late '80s followed be the economic boom of the '90s and members of the Class of 78 to 84 have settled, travelled, and many have subsequently returned to live in Ireland. It is proposed to hold a reunion of the Class of 78 to 84 as it is felt that twenty years is sufficient time for people to forget who ran off with who's girlfriend, or who got what in the Leaving Cert. In the best tradition of these matters a committee was formed to organise the event and the proposed schedule is as follows: Friday 19th Nov. 21:00 Informal Gathering Rays Bar Castle Street Castlebar Saturday 20th Nov. 11:00 Golf Tee off Castlebar Golf Club Saturday 20th Nov. 14:00 5-A-Side Soccer Castlebar Celtic Soccer Club Saturday 20th Nov. 19:30 Dinner / Dancing Breaffy House Hotel Castlebar Sunday 21st Nov. Recovery Of the nearly eighty members of the Class of 78 to 84 the majority have indicated that they will attend the event. It is also proposed to invite teachers from St. Geralds and is hoped that partners will also attend. Participation in the Golf or Soccer activities is voluntary. The ticket cost will be €50 per person which includes dinner and entertainment. Golf and Soccer costs will be separate and collected on the day. Attached is a reply form for completion - we would appreciate the return of same to John O'Connor, 8 Rathbawn Drive, Castlebar, before Friday the 17th of September 2004. The success of this event depends on the participation of as many members of the Class of 78 to 84 as possible, and the speedy return of the enclosed reply form! The organising committee sincerely hopes that you will be able to make it for what promises to be a great weekend. We look forward to meeting you again.
