Niall Largey died in Belfast a few years ago at the age of 27 as a result of motor neurone disease. A fund has been set up in his memory.
The entrance fee (including supper) was €5. Music was provided by Mickey McArdle on solo guitar with "Nuala" on vocals. The night was warm and humid, the door of the venue in The Strand Hotel, Omeath, remained open all night and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Tickets for the raffle were €5 for a "line" of 5 tickets.
The buffet supper, served off the function room, offered knife and fork, flaky savoury pastries, chicken goujons, sausage rolls, cocktail sausages, chips, creamed cauliflower, salad, and a selection of cold sauces which were all sweet, red and hot.
