As a prelude to this Golf Classic, the Society have “encouraged” the aforementioned Seamie Sheridan to do a badly needed “Barber Style Hair Cut” also for Bailieborough Cancer Comfort Ltd. This “Barbering” will take place on Sept 3rd in the Square after the Society’s ‘Concra Wood’ outing at around 9pm. The tight trimming of his flowing, greying locks will assist the Society’s fund raising drive for this vital community service. Donations are going well but if you have not have already donated for this event and worthy cause you can still contribute through “Hall’s Newsagent” and “The Square Bar”. Please donate and bring “Seamie” back to his childhood barbered look!!!
