A Message from our President
Thank you to the committee for giving me the opportunity to
represent you the members as president of the Celtic Club.
It is with great honour that I accept the role and have the
opportunity to work with the staff to make the Celtic Club
a better place for all.
At this point I would like to thank outgoing president
Brian Shanahan for his time over the last 6 years.
A special thanks also to Brian’s wife Marlene for her support
and involvement during this time.
It is great to know that Brian and Marlene will continue to be
involved with the club.
I would like to thank the many people involved who have made
the Celtic Club the centre for Irish sport, culture, history,
language classes, GAA meetings and many other groups and
organisations that use the club as a central base.
I know my time as President will be short but if the members see
fit to put me back at the helm, I will give it 100% to bring our
Club into the 21st Century so that we can be proud to invite our
guests into the club.

Rose Gilmore in IT’S THE IRISH IN ME
IT’S THE IRISH IN ME is a delightful night of cabaret which stirs the soul.

Accompanied by Cameron Thomas on piano.
