St. Gerald's College Castlebar Class 1978-1984 Reunion

St. Gerald’s 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. Gerald’s 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. Gerald’s 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.
Accommodation at Breaffy can be booked through Lynch Hotel Central reservations at 065 682 300 at a special rate of €60 per person, b & b. It may be possible to get a better rate at www.lynchotels.com. It is recommended to book in advance.
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.
Regards
Declan Durcan
