Dromboughil Charity Coffee morning and Easter Bonnet Contest

Saturday 31st March 2012 we held our coffee morning to raise funds for Ovarian Cancer (The Eve Appeal) and it was a brilliant success with amazing support from the local community and those further afield and over £800 was raised for the charity.  Thank you all who supported us in this venture.

Our guest and judge for the Easter Bonnet Competition was Joe Mahon, of Lesser Spotted Ulster fame.  The hats were magnificent as shown by the following photos!

 Siobhan's hat
The mystery banker.  Cecil Ross was hiding behind the mask (and getting very warm!)

Rose's cupcake hat won her a prize as well - for very good reason!

 The many uses of a flower pot
 My 'creation' - just to be different
They're not ignoring me. Just letting me see the back of their hats
