Avondhu Macra had a fantastic night's entertainment in the Hazel Tree where the region held their National Talent and Titles Night.The standard was phenomenal and judges on the night Dan Twomey, John Paul O'Shea and Denis Walsh had no easy task in deciding the winners.
The night was MC'd by Tommy Moyles whos quick wit and comic turn of phrase made the personality interviews and indeed the whole night full of laughs and entertainment. Regional Chairperson Caitriona Fox said that it was fantastic to see such a great turn out, particularly since there has not been a regional Titles or Talent Competition held in the last five years. It was outstanding to see the region once again return to its former glory.
