Late Late Toy Show
What a great experience and a Privilege to be part of such a brilliant show. The dancers performed in the trad session with fellow Killarney dancers. The RTE team were fantastic and the Spa dancers had the opportunity to meet Mr Toy Show himself Ryan Turbidy in Cork and at rehearsals in the Studio. Thanks to Noreen O'Sullivan who organised the whole event with the entry down to travel arrangements. Thanks to Spa GAA Club and CCE Cill Airne for their donations also. The dancers Erin Holland, Meghann Cronin, Orlaith Spillane, Shona Murphy, Liam Spillane, Gary O'Sullivan, Cian O'Sullivan and Christopher Carey, had a brilliant time and showcased their talent outstandingly both on the Live Show and on Toy Show Unwrapped. Proud teachers, Triona and Mairead Mangan can take credit for the brilliant talent that was shown all over Ireland and the world last Friday night. You did yourselves and the Club proud.
Community Notes
This week, we received the welcome news from London, that our former clubman and a native son, Noel O'Sullivan, has been honoured as The Killarney London Association Person Of The Year 2016. He received this accolade at the recent annual re-union function, which he richly deserves. Akin, to all the O'Sullivan "Farmer" clan from Ballaugh. Noel played in the under-age grade with Spa before emigrating to London in 1970s and soon become deeply immersed in many social and sporting activities in his adopted land. Most notably, the Gaelic Athletic Association, in which he filled so many organising roles and was also deeply involved in the Killarney/London Association.
While Noel was serving so many organisations in the greater London area, other members of the O'Sullivan family were very much involved with the local Spa GAA club. Donie was involved in the revival of the senior team in 1966 and was a member of the panel which won the O'Donoghue Cup in that season. While Andy during his tenure as chairman, played a major role in the development of the club's excellent facilities. Today, the tradition has been carried on by their nephew, Adrian, who occupies the position of PRO of Spa Coiste na nÓg. The O'Sullivan family, have made a notable contribution to community life, both locally and abroad, over many years. Noel carries best wishes from his many friends in the greater Spa area.
