great comemoration
largest crowd at it i've seen in years and biggest cop presence too but it was well worth the stick they gave us
Dan is a great speaker wasnt reading from notes but he didn't have to -the man knows his roots

well done again to all involved

Hi Mark!

Thanks for that - much appreciated!
There was a great turn-out , Mark - but , like you said ,it attracted another type, too :
no matter , nothing we could do about that.
Dan Hoban was fantastic on the day - I've seen him in action before and knew what to expect!

Thanks!

Sorry i couldnt make this years Republican Tone commemoration.

Ill be be there next year though, The cousin went and was telling me was 900 to a 1000 Republicans attended thats the best crowd in a few years so.

Looks like every year more and more fall away from the provos and return to the Republican Movement. Add to that the amount of young people who showing up in droves and the Republican cause is on the way up again!

Hi Marky!

Such was the amount of young people and/or 'new faces' present in Sallins last Sunday that the State agents (Special Branch and SDU) looked worn out
at the end of their day from having chased them down to get their names and addresses.
I almost felt sorry for them at one stage....
;-)

Thanks!
