Peter Keenan Branch of ONE making plans for Longford St Patrick's Day parades

The next meeting of the Peter Keenan Branch of ONE will take place in The Bottleneck Bar, Market Square, Longford town at 8pm on Friday, February 23.

Note the change of venue, as the Vintage Club is being used by the Longford Lights Festival committee.

This meeting will discuss the upcoming St Patrick's Day parades around the county. As we have got several requests to attend in different locations our strategy for the day will be decided at this gathering.

Congratulations to Pat Masterson who was re-elected as chair for a second term.

To our members who have been out of sorts lately, we send you our best wishes on a speedy recovery.

Pat Masterson and members would like to thank Longford Vintage Club for their generosity in allowing us the use of their clubhouse for meetings, also the proprietors of The Bottleneck Bar.

New members are always very welcome, to join, ONE, just contact any member, or online at, https://www.one-veterans.org/ one-membership/
