ST PATRICK'S DAY DINNER

Our monthly dinner night fell on St Patricks Day so naturally the theme for our dinner was St Patrick's Day. Residents were encouraged to wear green and they did. We usually have an Irish Dance group come to dance for us. This year we couldn't get them due to problems they incurred due to Covid Lockdowns in the past. However, we solved the problem when Our Line Dancing Group offered to entertain us by dancing to Irish music. We normally have a distinguished visiting guest speaker but this year we had one of our residents from the History Group give us a talk on St Patrick. We also had a resident sing Danny Boy for us.

Bill says, "Top 'o' the mornin'" to Fergus our mascot.

We sat with a lovely group of neighbours.

Many guests wore green and fun head wear.

Nanette makes great cocktails. The bar is manned by village volunteers.

John gave an interesting talk.

The line dancers entertained us and had fun themselves dancing to Irish music.

Stewart sang 'Danny Boy'

The Rochedale High School Catering students served us well.

Poz, our chef, made a delicious meal: Guinness Pie with Colcannon and Creamed Spinach or Cider Coddled Pork Loin with Colcannon and Baked Sprouts. Dessert : Baileys Irish Cream baked Cheesecake with Green Chocolate Ganache.
Our CEO, Chiou See, and our Residents' Committee Chairman, Ian, led us all in singing "Its a Long Way to Tipperary".
