Memory lane trip for Carn students

Bus journey planned for
some attending ten year reunion?
by Liam Porter, Inishowen
Independent
RUMOUR has it that a group of former Carndonagh
Community School students who left the school ten
years ago, are hoping to take a trip down memory
lane next month by travelling to the ten
year-reunion on May 4 in a Lough Swilly Bus.
Organiser of the reunion, Joe Lafferty, told the
Inishowen Independent, yesterday that he wasn’t sure
if the lads in question would carry through with
their plans, but said he was certain that however
people got there, they would have a great night. |

“There has been a great
reaction so far and I know of people coming back
from America, England and different parts of Ireland
for what should be a great night’s craic.”
Joe explained that the reunion which will be held in
the Ballyliffin Hotel on Sunday May 4, will include
dinner, a live band and a disco and tickets priced
€25 are |
on sale in Valu Clean
in Buncrana, Norris’s shop in Moville and a number
of other outlets.
“We also set up a bebo page and that has proved to
be a great success and already loads of people have
started to get in contact with people they haven’t
heard from in a long time even through the page.”
The bebo page introduces the period in time between
1993 - 1998 as: “A period of good memories with
great friends, cringe worthy moments of savage dress
sense, doc martins and kickers shoes, spots,
awkwardness with the opposite sex, blur v's oasis,
The Strand Hotel disco's (and JD's but they were
never as good!!), a serious lack of fake tan and
plucked eyebrows, and a world before GHD's!”
And according to Joe, who with a few of his friends
decided that after a decade a reunion was in order,
what they have planned on the night is to have a
real laid back atmosphere.
“We really want as many people as possible to make
the effort to come along, have a bit of craic and
get a chance to see old friends. Already a lot of
people have said they will be there and a few of the
teachers know about this as well so we’re hoping to
see some of them on the night too.”
Those planning to go along can also bring along old
photographs or other school memorabilia, although
already some have decided to upload the old pics
instead to the bebo site.
“There is a good old buzz about the place about the
reunion, but there is a limited amount of space in
the hotel so people really need to make sure they
get their tickets in good time.”
