| | Happy Christmas from The Tyrone Association of Dublin Following on from such a hugely successful night at the dogs in Nov 2011, with the Dublin Lord Mayor, Andrew Montague in attendance, (son of one of our Tyrone Assoc founders, Terry Montague) we would like to invite you to a special night at the Mansion House for free in 2012. Yes that's right the Tyrone Assoc Dublin (TAD) have been formally invited to a night of "Craic agus Ceol" at the Mansion House on Sat 25th Feb 2012. The event will be by invitation only and with those who supported us so well in 2011 having first choice on this exciting and free event. We hope to have a star studded list of entertainers from Tyrone and this should be a night to remember. We feel very privileged to be invited to such a night in a very historical venue so hopefully we can make it a night to remember and show how Tyrone has made such an impact in Dublin over the last 100 years. If you are interested in this event please contact us on info@tad.ie. Looking forward to seeing you there. Numbers are very limited so first come first served. We are welcoming some Tyrone schools down to Dublin 4 for the finals of the Young Scientists Exhibition on Wed 11th January. These young people could be our future famous faces from Tyrone so we like to meet them each year and welcome them to our lovely city. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support over the past year and making the effort to come out to any of the events we arranged. We hope you had a good year despite all the doom and gloom around. We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. |
