Geraldton & Midwest Irish Club THE GERALDTON & MIDWEST IRISH CLUB HAD A BUSY END TO THE 2021 YEAR! The club hosted numerous Christmas events including the clubs annual Christmas party and a Sunday afternoon visit from Santa Claus himself (aka President Peter Vanderpol) who entertained the kids and handed out Christmas presents. On the same day we celebrated one of our life members, Grace Criddle’s, 80th birthday. There to help her blow out the candles was Finbar Kelly, also a Life member of the club. The club continues to have live music every Friday evening and Sunday afternoon promoting local Geraldton musical talent which has drawn in big crowds thanks to our Sunday meat raffle. The Geraldton & Midwest Irish Club wishes everyone a happy new year and again invites anyone passing through Geraldton to pop in and make themselves known over a pint of Guinness.”
