Hard Times.
I was speaking to Johnny Mackey, Matthews Cross proprietor of “Hard Times” and he has asked me to let you know that he will be out of action for a number of weeks due to health reasons and so will not be available for work. He will however be taking work related calls during business hours on 087-2681157. Johnny really values all his customers and looks forward to meeting you all when he is fully recovered. I am sure I speak for you all when I say that we wish Johnny the very best of luck and a speedy recovery and he better not take too long because I know a little man named Ronan who has the overalls and is ready to go!!
Fashion Show
Have you booked your ticket yet for the much looked forward to Belles and Beaus Fashion show which will take place on Saturday April 1st in the school hall of Ballyduff N.S. For just €15 you will receive a complimentary glass of wine, a fabulous goody bag full of lots of nice treats and the chance to win a fantastic door prize. There will also be a lovely prize for the best dressed lady on the night.
Our models will be very familiar to you perhaps even be related to you or a neighbour of yours and they will take to the catwalk modelling beautiful outfits from stores and boutiques in Waterford and Dungarvan. Many of the models have turned down catwalk work in Milan and Paris so that they can take part in this fashion show so make sure you book your ticket early. You can book that ticket by contacting Marie who is unable to model due to an old wrestling injury. You can reach her on 089-4348844.
