Irish Society of East Anglia 125th Anniversary Celebrations
The Irish Society of East Anglia celebrated its 125th anniversary with a St Patrick’s Day lunch in the Minstrel Suite today. Their first dinner was held at the Maid’s Head, on St. Patrick’s Day 1892, so the society was back where it all began.
Irish Society President, Maurice Connery, pictured with the Lord Mayor of Norwich, Councillor Brenda Arthur who attended the lunch, is holding the president’s walking stick, passed down from president to president since the inaugural dinner in 1892.
