Dear Secretary/ Friend/ Fellow Pioneer,

I write to you to inform you about this year’s National Ball, and ask you to spread the word far and wide. The National Ball 2013 takes place on Saturday 13th April, in the Seven Oaks Hotel, Carlow. This is the first time it will be held in Carlow, we are delighted to be given the opportunity to showcase Carlow and its surrounds.

The evening commences with Mass “as Gaeilge” in St. Marys Cathedral, Carlow at 6.15pm, the meal and dancing will follow in the Seven Oaks Hotel to the music of Solitaire. Our guest speaker Denis Rackard Cody, a staunch lifetime member of the Ptaa and a key member of Kilkenny County Hurlers management team, Denis is a man who puts 110% into any task he undertakes.

This is the perfect occasion for Pioneers and all their friends to get together and enjoy good food, great music and great dancing.

Looking forward to the pleasure of you company on the night.
