Highlight of the Field Day will be an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of Records for “The Largest Rock the Boat” in the World! This fundraising effort is in aid of Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin and the local King’s River (Abhainn Rí)) development project. It promises to be a real fun event with the co-operation and participation of as many people as possible in the grounds of the historic Abbey Meadow. M.C. on the day will be the inimitable George Chandler, with local D.J. Mark Fitzpatrick and organiser Teckie Brett ensuring that all will be rocking in perfect rhythm and sweet harmony! Never let it be said that you didn’t “Rock the Boat” to help create this record in Callan to raise much needed funds for two worthwhile causes.
