We may be in the height of the summer – but one Laois group have unveiled and announced plans for a celebration at the end of this year.
The Laois Macra Committee will be hosting a New Year’s Eve Ball in the Killeshin Hotel to welcome in the new year 2025.
Organisers say that Macra members from across the county will be invited to attend.
However, anyone can attend as the New Year’s ball will aim to provide a memorable night to both Macra and non-Macra members.
Macra is a rural youth organisation for 17-35 year olds. Laois Macra comprises six clubs: Rathdowney Macra, Durrow/Abbeyleix Macra, Mountmellick Macra, East Laois Macra, Ard Éireann Macra and Portlaoise Macra.
The group are celebrating their 80th anniversary this year and this ball is being hosted to commemorate the occasion.
The event will feature a live band, four course dinner, dancing and many prizes which will be handed out on the night.
Macra are currently seeking sponsorship from local businesses in Laois to ensure a successful event.
If interested in contributing to the occasion, you can contact Macra by email at laoismacra@gmail.com.
Updates and further information on the event will be available on Macra’s social media pages; Laois Macra na Ferime on Facebook and Laois Macra on Instagram.
Tickets are set to go on sale in Autumn and will be available on the mentioned social media pages.
Macra is always welcoming new members and loves to see new faces joining the group.
New members can join by getting in touch with current members, emailing the address above or by sending a message to one of the social media pages.
