Banogue Parish Centre Committee would like to thank everybody who helped to make their recent presentation of “Grease” such an outstanding success. It was a wonderful community achievement to see everyone giving their best, with a smile and all voluntarily. Thanks to the huge cast, the producer, the orchestra, those who helped at costumes, props and make up, the backstage crew and prompters, the front of house team, the parking trio, the people who brought lovely food for the half time break, the shop assistants, the ticket sellers and the often forgotten people, who prepared and cleaned up the centre every night and were always there when needed. Thanks to the people from outside the parish, some for the first time, who continue to be a very welcome addition to the crew, and new talent, is always welcome. It was brilliant to see so many new faces on stage this year, all quick to learn back stage etiquette! A big thank you is due to the many generous sponsors for the many fine raffle prizes. David Lahiff who as usual took care of the posters and programmes. The producers thank Fr. Kennedy for his continued encouragement. Thanks to the board of management for the use of the classroom. Above all, a sincere thanks the loyal patrons, welcome to all who came for the first time. They all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and the organisers apologise to those who couldn’t gain admission on the Sunday night, as safety regulations wouldn’t allow. Sunday night was a benefit night for the Seamus Geehan wheelchair fund and sincere thanks to all who contributed so generously to the €3507, which was raised on the night. The fund is still open and if anybody wants to contribute feel free to do so, to any one of the hall committee. All this work, co-operation and support generates a great community spirit and ensures that the Banogue Parish hold onto their own unique identity.

LATE JIMMY MOLONEY RIP
The Banogue and the entire Maigueside area were saddened to hear of the death of the Late Jimmy Moloney who died in England last weekend. The arrangements for the Funeral are as follows:This Saturday evening 28th February his remains will be received at his former parish Church Sts.Peter and Paul's Banogue after Mission services and mass, and Requiem Mass on Sunday followed by interment to Sixmilebridge Cemetery. The late Jimmy Moloney emigrated to England in the late 50s having attended Banogue National School and would have spent almost 50 years of his life working in the South of England. Jimmy had a great affection with his native Banogue and would have donned the Banogue colours in the hurling field prior to his departure to seek a living abroad. He was deeply involved with the Gaelic Athletic Association in the U.K. and held various positions in GAA Clubs and also on the London County Board. He would have arranged many visits of London Clubs to play club games in Limerick over the years. Jimmy was also involved with the Limerick Immigrant Association and would love to assist and help new immigrants who would arrive in the City of London Seeking employment and work. Jimmy would rarely miss a County Championship Final or if Limerick were participating at Croke Park Jimmy was first to enter the Turnstile bedecked with his Limerick jersey and cap. Jimmy would put aside the rivalry that existed in the past between Banogue and Croom and if Croom were playing in a Championship game or County Final Jimmy's enthusiasm would be very evident in cheering on his neighbours. Sympathy is extended to his wife, Family and his brother Billy, Banogue An outstanding Gael has passed away.
