Launch of Sweet Memories exhibition & book

Thanks to everyone who came along to the launch last Thursday evening. So many people turned out to support the project and to catch up with old friends and colleagues. There was such a warm and friendly atmosphere in Tallaght Library that night - an indication of the enviable camaraderie that existed in the Urney Chocolates factory before it closed its doors 40 years ago.
Sile, Una and library staff did a terrific job organising the whole event, even providing a chocolate fountain with the refreshments. The exhibition runs until September 19th, during library opening hours so you still have a chance to view it.

Book Launch on Thursday 26th August, 2010

Finally, after a year in the making, the book is finished. Sweet Memories, The Story of Urney Chocolates will be launched on Thursday evening at 7pm in Tallaght Library. 
With a heart-warming foreword from comedian Brendan Grace the publication traces the growth of Urney Chocolates from its humble beginnings in Co. Tyrone to an industrial pioneer of Irish confectionery. In conjunction with Heritage week and in association with the book there is also an exhibition on show in Tallaght library. Everybody is welcome to the launch, so come along this Thursday and relive your favourite Urney memories.
