The Killarney London Reunion will celebrate its 50thanniversary this November with a gala function in the famed Crown Hotel in Cricklewood.

The Killarney Association London was formed in 1969 by local priest Tom Looney, who was the parish priest in Wembley at the time, Cllr Donal Grady and the late Cllr Michael Courtney. Serving as a home away from home for Killarney exiles, it has gone from strength to strength over the last half century.

The annual reunion is one of the social highlights of the year for Kerry people living in London. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, November 16.

Each year the Killarney-London Committee select a ‘Person of the Year’ – and details of this year’s recipient will be announced in due course.

The presentation will be made at the reception which will be attended by Mayor of Killarney, Cllr Niall Kelleher, and Cllr Donal Grady, Chairman of the Killarney-London Reunion committee.

Cllr Grady has been involved with the organisation for the past 50 years and he has worked tirelessly to ensure it continues to prosper and that strong bonds are maintained.

The Killarney Advertiser is one of the main sponsors of the Killarney London Reunion.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
