Our wonderful Dinner Committee organised a great St Patrick's Dinner in the Community Centre. We were asked to wear something green and everyone did. We had songs and jokes. Every table had words to an Irish Song but only two tables had the same song. When we heard the music playing for our song everyone at the two tables had to stand up and sing. We all enjoyed it.
Our hall was full. Our Managing Director, Chiou See, invited residents from her other village too.
Jan and Ian organised the singing game.
Two tables at a time had to stand and sing the song that was put on their table.
Nannette was busy making cocktails. The bar staff are resident volunteers.
Emerald Eyes Cocktail
The menu was Pea and Mint Colcannon Chowder & Lamb Ragout or Mustard Colcannon Chowder & Corned beef w Soda Bread, Dessert was Dark Chocolate Guinness Cake w Baileys Cream Cheese Icing. (Forgot to snap the main course.)
What fun. The singing was a great idea and ensured everyone joined in.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great event. It's a pity there weren't lads among the catering students.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party, good food, drinks and dancing. Cut photos of you and Bill!
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and happy new week!
Diane what fun you have in the village and that big room.
ReplyDeleteAll food looks good and everyone smiling and joining in...well done to all.
all of your parties everyone looks very happy. even the cooks and caterer students look happy. love the line dancers
ReplyDeleteThat event looks like great fun and a delight to see no masks while you are enjoying yourselves. Here in California we no longer require masks, hurray. P.S. An hour ago I felt a jolt while sitting in my living room; 3.9 earthquake inland from us. Never fun to experience.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good time
ReplyDeleteIt looks a if you had a wonderful time. Many Irish eyes were smiling at the dinner.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have magical St Patrick's Days parties in South Africa, I so miss them. Glad you got to have a good time. T'other Diane
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely post Diane. it looks like a very fun event. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the way to get old ! Having fun and being silly !! We don't celebrate St. Patrick's day only the Irish do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful St Patrick's celebration! The food and drinks looked delicious and I like the song idea which must have been fun. Your community center always does a nice holiday party. I noticed all the bookshelves are filled with books -- my kind of heaven!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful time you all had.
ReplyDeleteCelebrating together is always the best. Love the singing game...I'm sure there were tons of giggles doing that...and the line dancing...bravo!!

Lots of green and happy faces all around for that meal, Diane. As always, your residence has the most fun gatherings and that menu sounded delicious as well!
ReplyDeleteWow even the chairs are green! You sure do seem to have a lot of fun there. That's a wonderful thing, and it's always good to find some laughter every day.
ReplyDeleteYour get-togethers always look very special, fun and entertaining. I enjoy your photos of them very much Diane. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteyou had a great time
ReplyDeleteThat does look like fun! (And delicious food as always). You would want to hope that everybody else at my tables could carry a tune, because my singing voice would send everybody home early!)
