Ursuline Thurles-Class of 98 Reunion

It only seems like only yesterday that we, in Thurles & surrounding areas, were habitually donning our royal blue uniforms and singing Dear St. Angela, but believe it or not the time has come for the Ursuline class of 1998 to celebrate their ten year school reunion.

Past pupils who graduated in 1998 are invited to attend the reunion on Saturday, November 15th. The reunion is also open to anyone who was in school around that time and who would like to come and catch up with old friends.

Celebrations begin at 4 pm in the Ursuline Convent with Mass and a tour of the School. At 8 pm celebrations continue in the newly renovated Skehan’s Bar, Liberty Square, Thurles.

Hope you can make it to one or both of this Saturday’s events! So looking forward to meeting you all.

Remember:

Venues: Ursuline Convent, and Skehan’s Bar, Thurles, Co.Tipperary.

Time: 4.00 pm

Date: Saturday, November 15th 2008.
