It was a case of third time still unlucky as the family of local woman Ann Smith had to cancel the latest effort to celebrate their mam's 80th birthday in style! But the warm wishes of her husband, children and grandchildren were enough to put a big smile on her face. Caroline (Gregory) and her brother Patrick had booked the Westcourt Hotel for a party for over 100 on New Year's Eve for their mother Ann. That was downsized to 50, then 25 and now it will be immediate family only on January 4th! 'It's just not to be,' says Caroline with a laugh. 'The main thing is a few of us will be with them on Christmas Day, which a lot of people won't even have.'
