It’s that time of the year again for our Autumn Newsletter. Hope you all had a relaxing summer as we now move on into the long Autumn nights. We thank you for your loyal and continued support and look forward to working with you and meeting you at future events to bring the year to a close.
Annual Wexford Towns Reunion Buffet Dance
This was another very successful event with the Wexford Towns Re-union Buffet dance which was held on Saturday 26th of October at The Mazenod Social club in Kilburn, London. A big thanks to all who attended supported and contributed in any way on the night. We were delighted to greet Billy O’ Brien and his traveling darts enthusiasm party who also held a successful Darts tournament on the Friday night at the D.O.B Club. Thanks to all the Councillors who supported us and spoke highly of the immense work that is going on here in London by fellow Wexfordians. Anna Redmond and her team at the venue worked tirelessly throughout the night. Everyone had a fantastic night with a fabulous buffet prepared by Emily Cronin. Slim Attraction had everyone dancing going into the early hours of the morning.
