The Early Hours

Everyone had their fill of the ample food served at dinner so with a band ensconced in the dance-hall, it was time to lose those gained kilos. It's fair to say that the night flew due to the enjoyment had by all those who attended. The highlight of the evening was the appearance of members of the Dooagh Pipe Band. The coach appeared in the early hours to bring most of the guests back to Achill.
