CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
Well done Joe Synnott Roofing and team for the sponsorship and erection of the fantastic Roundwood village Christmas tree. Thanks to Robert Power Electrician & his staff for doing the needful on the Christmas lights around the village. A big, big thanks to Max McDonald who had the mighty task to officially turn on the Christmas tree lights. Thanks to Santa for taking time out of his busy schedule to come to Roundwood and to the great carol singers who got us all into the Christmas spirit. The lovely hot chocolate kindly provided by Janette in Sugar Mountain Café helped keep everyone warmed up and in good voice. Ciaran Dunne pulled out the stops again with his camera work to beam the Christmas lights switching on ceremony into the homes of Roundwood folk from far and wide via the Roundwood.ie Facebook page, great job as always & your singing was great too!
The work on the Christmas lights in the village is coordinated and funded through the Roundwood & District Community Council – a great team effort which is greatly appreciated by all. If you would like to make a donation towards the costs of the Christmas lights please feel free to drop a few bob into the bucket in Keith Grant Butchers or to any member of the Roundwood & District Community Council. The village looks absolutely fantastic – well done to all. Let the festivities begin and stay safe.
