Declan Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Is it today I thought it was usually a Thursday? But when I passed yesterday they were just setting it up. I once came third in one of the craft contests. I was dead pleased until I realised there were four entries and I'd entered two of them! The best bit about Laa Columb was that if you lived in Colby or Ballabeg you got an extra afternoon off school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearz Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 oops was it thursdays? I thought they were setting up yesterday too! If it was yesterday then did anyone go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grib Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 It was postponed, due to the weather, from yesterday (Thursday). I always relate Laa Columb with Wimbledon. Afternoon off school, watch a bit of the tennis, go down the field, eat cakes, drink beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 drink beer Not at Laa Columb Killey, that has always been the downside, no beer tent because they're all Methodist. Stav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearz Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 Just remembered about 3 years ago my younger sister was bought home from Laa Columb Killey from the police for being "drunk and incapable" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I miss having the afternoon off for that too. It always seemed such a "sickens you" on all the other kids who had to stay in school because they didn't live in Arbory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 It's the Arbory parish fair. Can't remember a great deal of the historical stuff behind it despite having been most years since being a toddler and kicking people's ass in the BMX race many a time!
