These photographs were taken around 1985 I think. There may be a couple of different venues covered as the film seems to be mixed up a bit. Some of them may have been taken at a South Armagh Festival as there seem to be a few festival queens in a couple of the photos.
Some trophies present as well but I have no idea of what they are for!

These photographs may belong to a batch that you will find up on this site earlier this year.
I think they were taken in the grounds of the Abbey School on Courtenay Hill.

This is a batch probably from a Newry Show Dinner about 1983 - but I'm not certain. There certainly is quite a few Newry people in them anyway so I don't think I am far out!
Also photographs from a Poyntzpass Vintage Rally in the Village at the same time with plenty of familiar faces. Mind you I see a certain Fireman I certainly wouldn't let near our house if it was burning!!!

Here is a batch from Poyntzpass from a Sports Day in the old football field complete with a Fancy Dress event and a band parade.
Punk Rock was the big thing along with Grease and good old Joe Kernan with his All Star even got a mention!
I know most of the people but I'll not embarrass them by naming them!!! Also one Newry Town pic on the film as well.

Plenty of photographs from this film, from around 1983.
Santa makes quite a few appearances at different unknown locations. Also an ArmaghDown Bar football kit presentation and several social pics, maybe some of them taken in the ArmaghDown but not sure.
A few shops with bomb/fire/ vandal damage and lastly what looks like an Armagh County GAA convention in Poyntzpass Hall.

A bit of a mix of at least three venues and a ladies fashion shop and a furniture warehouse. Nothing if not varied!

A good selection of social pics from bars around the town most of which I don't recognise but I can guess where some of the photos are taken.
Also a presentation to Fr Kearney by a group from Saval as well as fire damage photographs from a tyre depot.

Details are a bit sketchy on this batch now. The Fancy Dress pics include such characters as a Bumble Bee called Sting and even the North Wind had a look in. They have me a bit flummoxed though as to the location, Sheepbridge maybe?
The presentations, even though they have quite a few familiar faces, I still can't work out what or where they were.

This batch is from about 1983 or so and it is mostly of a concert at Newry Showgrounds where the main band seems to be Big O and Co!
There certainly was a large crowd there. Not sure if the brollies were there to keep off the rain or the sun.
Tomorrows Jedward concert will not hold a candle to it!
The other photos are from a golf game but I'm unsure whether its Newry or not.
