Table quiz in memory of Mary Bishop on Friday week

The first annual Mary Bishop Memorial fundraising table quiz will take place on Friday February 21st at 9pm in The Lisdoo.

The event will be held in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital and all support is welcoemd.

A table of four costs just €20, which includes a raffle, prizes and a disco afterwards by DJ Ollie B.

Mary, from the Mill Road, passed away last August aged just 53. As well as running her own business in Clanbrassil Street for a number of years, she also worked for a long time in Eamon Bishop’s Spar shop on the Newry Road.

It was decided to donate the proceeds from the table quiz to Temple Street because of Mary’s deep love of children.

For further details or to make a donation call Eamon on 042-9338312.
