CAPTAINS’ DAY 🍋🍋
Captains Bill and Noreen would like to say thank you very much to everyone who made our Greek Captains Day so special.
It truly was a Greek Extravaganza - the glorious sunshine, fantastic tennis, greek feast, wines and cocktails not to mention the handkerchief Zorba Dancing!
A huge thank you to our own Sarah who catered the delicious meal and her team of helpers Anthea, Caroline, Linda, Louise, Lisa, Miriam and Niamh who worked so hard to make the day so brilliant. Special thanks goes to our Creative Directors Anthea and Linda who were the chief Taverna Designers and artists.
Well done to our Captains Day Tennis Winners: John, Carmel, Niall, Sarah, Kevin, Deirdre, Eoin and Clodagh.
