Here are some school photographs from the 1980's. If they aren't too clear I think you can blame the photographer!!!
I obviously was still coming to grips with my new career! I think most of them are from St Clare's Convent School, High Street... but I've been wrong before!

Here are a large batch of photos from the Independent Club (The Indo) in the mid 1980's.
It looks like it was a really busy night and there are some very familiar faces, the Curran brothers, the Dollar Duffy, Damian Quinn.
The second half has a younger crowd and is a fancy dress and looks as if it's around Halloween and the consensus is that they were taken in Cupids

I know the first batch of photos were taken during the Maracycle from Belfast to Dublin in the mid 1980's. I even completed it myself one and a half times (Stayed on in Dublin to watch U2!) I'm not sure though if I took these when I was competing myself or not.
They were taken opposite the Ardmore Police Station on the Belfast Road.
The second batch of photos I haven't a clue, probably a social club or hall in South Armagh again but I'm used to being wrong at this point. If any of you know, I'd love to find out.

Here's some pics from a night out in the mid 1980's presumably around the town somewhere.
I'm sure someone will remember the band or at least the lead singer?
Sorry I don't have any more information.

Here are some photographs from a Birthday Party in the Mid 1980's. I know some of the people but can't remember where it was or whose party it was --- as usual!

Not sure if this is Newry or not though I'm sure somebody will recognise the place or the wallpaper or the people
The negatives are a wee bit worse for wear but it's the luck of the draw!

Another film, another mix. Some interesting ones I think from the Abbey Christian Brothers School but the backgrounds seem strange to me.
A batch of photos from a Small Firms mean Business trade show quite likely organised by the Newry and Mourne Co-op and possibly in the Town Hall.
Lastly it looks like the launch of an Art Exhibition in Newry Arts Centre with plenty of food and beverages on display.
At least I lnow the year - It's 1985 and that's courtesy of the badges on some peoples lapels at the Trade Show.

Here's another batch of photographs from my 80's collection.
The first few are from a Poyntzpass night out probably a Football Club dinner dance and perhaps in the Sheepbridge.
The second batch looks like a community centre and possibly Barcroft. Quite a few familiar faces in a lot of them.

This batch has a sporting theme with a rugby team, pool players, darts players and a horsey photograph thrown in for good measure. Also some social photographs from pub unknown!
