Shelmaliers launched their all-new development lotto and 1910 hurling centenary celebrations in Hotel Curracloe on Wednesday night last, with special guests Tony Dempsey and Co. Secretary Margaret Doyle.
Chairman, Seamus O'Leary, welcomed everyone to the launch. He praised the skills of local artist Andrew Kenny, Castlebridge, for designing the unique 1910 logo that will be used for the year-long celebrations. He said there were two booklets full of information on both launches and thanked Paul Tobin for the 1910 information booklet.
Margaret Doyle congratulated Shelmaliers on their forthcoming ventures and said it was a special year for the Shelmaliers and indeed for Wexford.
Tony Dempsey thanked Shels for the invitation and said it was a significant honour to be associated with the Shelmaliers and especially for this year celebrating the 1910 victory. He said that it was an occasion of remembering the past and planning for the future.
He said that the new Shelmalier development lotto would ensure that the magnificent development ongoing at Hollymount would continue into the future and would be of enormous benefit to the entire parish. He encouraged everybody in the parish to support the new lotto when it begins on February 15.
New development lotto Chairman, Larry Banville, thanked everyone for coming and said that the new development lotto will be supported by the parish for the parish and that all monies raised and won would be going back into the parish. He appealed to all the people living in the parish to support the continued development at Hollymount.
