The Peter Keenan Branch of ONET will hold their rescheduled AGM for 2022 on Friday, February 4 at 8pm in the Vintage Club at Sean Connolly Barracks.
In what promises to be an extremely busy year for the branch, our first outing will be on February 17 at 5pm to celebrate the centenary of the take-over, by Irish Volunteers, of the Cavalry Barracks, re-named to honour Sean Connolly and the Upper Artillery Barracks, re-named Kelleher Barracks in honour of Thomas Kelleher, on February 17, 1922.
Many other centenary events are still in the planning stage. In July of this year the fiftieth anniversary of the 4th Motor Squadron’s arrival in Longford will be celebrated.
Our thanks to the Vintage Club members who have been so generous to us over the last few years, it is very much appreciated. Finally new members are always very welcome to join the branch.
