On Friday 16^th December , we had a special guest to entertain us at our annual Christmas party.

This was arranged by John Mc Clatchey, one of our cooks in the home.

John and his dancing partner Kitty run a Jiving class every week in The Tones, Derrymacash. This was started throughout covid to get the local community out of the house and involved in some type of social gatherings with a bit of craic involved, they decided to donate their money from these classes to the local community and John wanted to put this into the Beeches Nursing Home by providing entertainment with Barry Kirwan for a Christmas event as he knew how much this would mean to all our residents especially Karen who is a lifelong fan of both Barry and Dominic Kirwan. She has attended all concerts before covid lockdown began.

This was a great surprise for Karen and she stated “ This was the best Christmas present ever and it has made my Christmas really special”

Everyone enjoyed the afternoons entertainment, we all sang and danced before our delicious buffet was served by our chef Paul.
