The band had the floor full, followed by a DJ and a pianist who finished the night off perfectly as many headed off for breakfast before retiring (allegedly!).
Nicky Logue (1995) did a wonderful job of heading up the committee, very ably assisted by Eamonn Casey (2004), Patrick Crawford (1996), Brid Collins (1995) and Henry Anderson (1975)
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported – yet another successful Alumni Ball!!
