Celebrity Chef, Club Tie & Dress Dance
The Celebrity Chef, Club Tie & Dress Dance took place in the club on Saturday evening the 10th of April, and a great time was had by all!  All the gentlemen of the club looked very smart in their club ties, and the ladies really turned on the style! 
Everyone was greeted with a glass of wine in the bar on arrival, and then re- convened in the function room for the four-course meal. The celebrity chef turned out to be Michael Duignan, retired Offaly hurler and former Meath County hurling manager, currently a hurling commentator for RTE. He was assisted in his culinary travails by our very own Gerry Giblin, as they announced the menu for the evening!

After the delicious meal, we had a Question & Answer session with Michael, where he fielded a number of searching questions from the floor. We were then honoured to be joined by Taoiseach Brian Cowan, former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, Michael Noonan TD, and bon viveur Michael D. Higgins TD, all alter egos of Top comedian Alan Shortt, of Bull Island fame!

The evening was rounded off by a session song and dance with smooth Entertainer Sean Boland, who had virtually everyone out dancing at some point during the night! Congratulations and well done to Ray Lawton and Ali Fitzgerald of the social committee, with special Thank You to Dee O’ Connor for all her hard work!

Hard Luck Paddy Joe Moran
Paddy Joe Moran represented Donaghmore / Ashbourne in the Storytelling competition at the  Senior Scór  Final , held in Ballmore Co. Westmeath  last Sunday the 28th March . He was unfortunate to lose out to the Kildare contestant, who prevailed on the day. A very big thank you to Paddy Joe  for all his brilliant, witty performances on behalf of the club, and well done for progressing so far in the competition.  Our participation in  Scór  underlines our club's committment to the cultural, as a well as the sporting, aspects of Gaelic life.
