Connacht Tribune 20th January, 1951 p.13

Kinvara Platoon breaks the ice for Gort Battalion by holding a dance at Johnston’s Hall on Sunday, 21st inst. This is the first dance held by any unit of the Battalion since 1915 and the platoon is endeavouring by careful preparation to ensure that it will set a headline for all units. With an excellent floor, a fine band, and the co-operation of all concerned, an excellent night seems assured.
