Seamie’s Hair Cut

Last Saturday saw the local iconic figure of Seamie Sheridan getting his locks cut, in aid of the Bailieboro Cancer Care fund. This was a preliminary event to assist the Shamrocks Golf Society in their efforts to raise funds for the same cause in a Golf Classic on 16/17 September in Virginia.

Thanks goes to Rosa for getting the deed done and to all the staff at The Square bar for their assistance, to everyone who supported the event and contributed to the worthy cause and especially to Seamie who went along with the “off the cuff “ idea.

To date, over €1440 euro has been raised, showing how much the local community wanted to see Seamie come out from under all that “grey mass “he has been parading around in for some time. Contributions can still be made at The Square Bar or Hall’s Newsagent’s. Again Thank you to all involved for making the night such a success.
