WHAT a night was had by all at Dundalk Lady Captain Pauline Duffy's Dinner on Friday night last.

A radiant Pauline warmly greeted her guests and fellow lady members with a drinks reception, and this was followed by a beautiful meal and eloquent speeches.

Pauline isn't often stuck for words, but was stunned to be treated to a 'surprise performance' by some lady members which was worthy of a slot in the Royal Variety Show.

If the saying 'laughter is the best medicine' is true, then all the members'ailments were cured on Friday night.

Thanks to the cast of Jean Connolly, Maureen Sheridan, Marie MacKell, Maeve Ahern, Niamh Maguire, Mary McDonnell, Fionnuala Dullaghan, Briege Reneghan, Gillian Murphy, Ann Hopper, Una Delaney, Rose Curtis and Margaret McAuley.
