70th Anniversary Celebrations

The highlight of our 70th Anniversary was the celebratory lunch on Sunday 7th April 2019 attended by over 80 members & guests when we returned to the Gresham Hotel where the reception for the 1949 team was held.

2019 celebrations for members included the presentation of the Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award to Minister Charlie Flanagan TD and to (founding members) Bridie & Colm Healion at the celebratory lunch in April 2019; while in January 2019, Claire King celebrated her 90th birthday (and her 91st in January 2020) making her our oldest active member. Congratulations to each of them.
