Little Christmas

A group from Mallow spent a very enjoyable evening at the Woodlands Hotel Adare on 7th of Jan. We had a lovely meal about 7.30 to 10 followed by dancing and music by Michael Collins. The meal was delicious and the staff were very busy as there were over 300 there. The hotel was beautifully decorated as you will see by the photos and bedrooms very comfortable with toppers and cosy duvets.

Citizen Information volunteers on trip to Dublin.

Citizen Information Volunteers had a lovely day out on 24th November. Places were allocated on the basis of the number of volunteers we had so Mallow did very well as we have 25 volunteers. We travelled by train and arrived at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham  at about 10.30 am. We were welcomed with lovely refreshments and then mixed with others from all over Ireland. It was lovely to exchange views with other people. There were over 200 there and it was a great welcome for our voluntary work. Lunch followed and it was delicious. then speeches from CIC Mabs First Responders and Regina Doherty Minister for older people.

Mallow ARA celebrated their christmas lunch at the Dunraven Arms Hotel Adare this year 2017.
We were made welcome on a cold day by a lovely open fire and Christmas tree.
First we had mulled wine and tiny mince pies. Then we had a fabulous lunch followed by dancing singing and enjoying the rest of the afternoon. We even sneaked a little shopping!!
