Meath Macra Up-Coming Events
will be in touch with anyone who submitted money for the night to return it to them.
A Soccer Blitz is being held on Friday 22nd June and will more than likely be hosted
by Grangegeeth.
The Dublin City Talent competition has been moved to either the 29th or 30th June,
which will be confirmed shortly. The format for the Gaelic Football and Hurling
competitions has been changed. Any club in the County can now enter without having
to go through a County round first. A date has yet to be finalised but will probably be
sometime in August. Also, the final for the Drama competition has been set for September.
There will be no semi-final so whoever is representing the County will go straight to the Final.
The County Field Day will take place on Sunday 12th August with the Presentation Dance
taking place on either the 17th or 18th August - this date will be confirmed shortly.
The County AGM will happen on Monday 27th August.
The representatives for the Kings and Queens Competitions are:
Queen of the Land - Lorraine McGarry of Longwood;
Miss Macra - Catherine Smith of Dunshaughlin;
Ideal Batchelor - David Dunne of Enfield;
Summer Sun Festival - Ronan Boyle of Ardcath.

last Saturday. County Chairman Ciaran Ryan of Ardcath broke hearts on Saturday
when he married fianceé Ena Finger - everyone in the County would like to wish them
all the best for the future. Wedding bells were ringing in Dunshaughlin too with the wedding of past County Chair
Marion Naughton when she married her 'man from Down Under' David two weeks ago. Also taking the trip down the aisle was Marion's cousin and past Chair of Dunshaughlin
Macra, Morty O'Sullivan who recently married Lorraine Mallon.
Best wishes are extended to all. Grangegeeth must be getting the wedding bug as they are organising a Mock Wedding
fundraiser in aid of the Irish Cancer Society in September.
They had a very successful Beach Party last week and want to thank everyone who helped
out, especially members of Enfield Macra who came over on the night.
Things in Dunshaughlin are starting up again. The club is in the process of rescheduling
their Table Quiz which was originally set for April and the four Reid sisters ran in the
Ladies Mini Marathon over the June Bank Holiday Weekend. Longwood will be saying
a temporary farewell to PRO Lorraine McGarry who is going to America for three months
- lets hope she doesn't depart before the Queen of the Land competition! Scurlogstown
members recently took to the bowling alleys and followed it up with a pub crawl around Navan.
