Fancy Dress Main Feature Delayed Until November

Here we feature the three winning entries plus one of the many very colourful groups who participated in Friday night's Annual Fancy Dress event at the Wallis Arms Hotel, Millstreet. Usually we feature lots more images from the consistently enjoyable occasion....and this we shall again do this year but because we've used up most of our bandwidth allocation for October we shall have to wait until the beginning of November to share a much fuller feature of images. Apologies for this delay but it was due to a temporary technical problem which is corrected for future months. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
