Destination lucky strike

FIRST we heard the country music tones of Mike Denver over the loudspeakers.

Then we saw the lines of traffic. That’s when we realised we weren’t the only ones who had decided to spend a drizzly Sunday afternoon in June sitting in our cars at Castleisland Mart.

What had compelled us to do such a thing, I hear you ask. We were there for the town’s first ever drive-in bingo, an event organised by the Castleisland Race Committee to raise money for the town’s day-care centre and Build4Life, a local Cystic Fibrosis charity.
