"Night at the OsKaRs" Five years ago Kilcummin GAA club in partnership
with Glenflesk GAA produced an absolutely amazing event that was a fantastic success and was covered and reported on by the media. Both clubs are presenting another such event this coming Thursday in the INEC and we are reassured that it will be even bigger and better this time around. With eight films, professional judges, Red carpet, Oscars for best films and best actors and an after party it promises not only to be a very professional production but also a great night's entertainment for all ages. As a fundraiser the proceeds will be divided between the clubs and in Kilcummin’s case, to develop and maintain facilities for the young people of the parish. Tickets will be on sale by club members in the club bar on TUESDAY between 7.30pm and 8.30pm. You can also contact Niamh on 087 9801105 or Emma on 085 7547586. Tickets are selling fast. Don't miss the opportunity to see your neighbours and family performing on the big screen as it definitely will not be repeated.
