Some comments received re.Banquet.
St Paul's
GAC Treasurer Billy McLarnon gives the opinion of his club's
members, 16-20 of whom attend each year:
Just wanted to say that I feel that the Annual Awards Dinner should remain in Bundoran. It adds to the weekend and the enjoyment to get away from it all at this beautiful seaside spot. I know that in particular the wives enjoy the shopping in Sligo and I can certainly say that the golf is an added bonus
Former Donegal GAA County Board PRO, and now Press Officer for Mary Coughlan TD, enthuses about the occasion::
Really enjoyed the banquet as always, it's at the top when it comes to enjoyable GAA nights.
