The Speedo 20/03/07 - 27/03/07

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the first day of Spring! Thanks everyone for coming out to our St. Patrick's Day Pub Club at Celtic. We had over 50 people there, dancing and drinking green beer! Ok, well there wasn't any green beer... but we did have fun! Thanks to Eric and Darren for planning such a fun night. We also had a good time at March's Karaoke month in Guinness Pub. If you weren't there, you missed Terri singing Eric Clapton and Jamie singing Tina Turner!
