A wonderful evening's entertainment was provided by our youth club members at 'The Bridges Got Talent' Show last Friday in the Resource Centre in aid of the charity Friends for Children. 13 acts participated which included singers, dancers, traditional musicians and Irish dancers. All those in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the show which was a display of the great talent from the young people in the area. The three judges had the hard task on deciding on the eventual winners; with Moya Strain (Solo Singing) emerging as the winner on the night, Ryan Mc Keown (Irish Dancing) came second and third prize was jointly awarded to Glitz & Glam (Dancing) and The Trio Group (Traditional Music).The Youth Club would like to take this opportunity to thank all the young people who participated on the night and to everyone who attended the show or bought tickets. Many thanks also to the three judges on the night Denis Mc Groon - Chairman of Friends for Children, Rosie Carey - SELB Senior Youth Worker, South Armagh and Kieran Faughey.

A cheque was presented to Denis Mc Groon Chairman of Friends for Children on the night by members of the Youth Club and leaders Clare Faughey, Lizzy Smyth and Mairead Kelly. The money was raised from a youth club disco held earlier in the year and also from the Talent Show on Friday night.

A special presentation was also made to Anne Martin who stepped down from her role as Chairperson of the youth club last year. A token of appreciation was presented to Anne by youth club leaders Clare Faughey, Lizzy Smyth and Mairead Kelly.
