Many thanks
'Many thanks to all my friends and neighbours who attended 'Irene's 50th Hoedown' in the Abbey Hall last Saturday. What a night! What a venue! All the visitors from the UK, Europe and even Monaghan(!) were blown away by the warm reception they received from our community; the facilities we have in the Abbey Hall and the general beauty and buzz of Graignamanagh. Special thanks to Rita and Jim Whelan for the superlative food; Montana for the fantastic music; Matt Givens for the lighting; The '50 Shadez' dancers; Ward Kinsella and Martin Hartley for the help with the hall/AV and Tom and Nellie Dowling for the straw!!! All the lovely giftsand goodwill were overwhelming and yet much appreciated. If this is 50 then things are not so bad at all... Irene McCormick (50 years young)'

Notice from The Lotto Committee:
In accordance with the terms of our lotto licence, the main jackpot prize cannot exceed €20,000 and consequently our reserve jackpot is now also approaching €20,000.
In the event that the reserve jackpot reaches €20,000 over the coming weeks (and while the main jackpot remains unclaimed)
- The reserve jackpot will be capped at €20,000 and willno longer increase by €150 per week
- The weekly consolation prizes will increase from €150 to €300 (i.e. 5 prizes of €60)
This will remain until the main jackpot is claimed, at which time the consolation prizes will revert to €150 weekly and €150 will again be added to a reserve jackpot each week.
