When After much fund raising and hard work the Community Centre opened its doors on the 22nd of February 1982 with a gala ball to the music of Louise Morrissey and her band. Many other dances followed with Gene Stuart playing and other notable artists of the day. It soon became the focal point for many other social events with concerts and drama performances, comedy sketches and numerous other events taking place. Later, parish funds were raised through Bingo sessions and in more recent years the Drumavaddy Youth Club have made use of it for their numerous activities. In doing so they have also carried out repairs and helped with its upkeep. In 2007
major work has been carried out on the school building. It has been
developed into a large meeting room with a modern kitchen and toilets
being added. Repairs were carried out and all of the Community Centre
was painted this year in preparation for the Denbawn & Drumavaddy
school re-union which took place in August 2007. Drumavaddy Community Centre is now one of the best of its kind in the county. It is regularly used by local organisations for social, sporting and recreational events. Also it is used for refreshments after funerals. The chairperson of the Community Centre Committee is Seán Gaffney. |
