2003 Dinner
Kieran Charleson, Wilf McGuinness, Steve O'Connor
Turning to our 8th Annual Dinner in October at the College, I never ceased to be amazed at the quality and overall popularity of this evening.
The function was again held in front of an enthusiastic packed house. The night was set alight by a truly memorable performance from Old Boy
and future star Martin Toal, whose sensational tenor voice raised the rafters, whilst his dulcet tones charmed and serenaded a mesmerised Joan
Handford.
Our guest speaker, the mischievously misrepresented "Wolf" McGuinnness, provided us with an excellent assortment of amusing stories and
memoirs from his time in soccer. This evening was marshalled with some aplomb by our very own MC Pete Riley, whose skills in this area are
renowned and on belalf of the association I thank you Peter.
On a practical level, Derval Hartnett and Peter Foster took care of the high standard of food and bar service respectively, with the arrangement
proving most successful to those members of the committee that have in previous years ended up at the local off licence acquiring more supplies.
On behalf of the Association, may I thank all those who make this particular evening the great success that it is.
