Specsavers Drogheda recently held a SWOTY scouting drive in local bar Cagney’s Bar on Dyer Street. Store staff were on the lookout for Ireland’s next Spectacle Wearer of the Year, encouraging entries with a selection of glasses and props for people to try on and snap a selfie with their favourite frames.

A DJ entertained guests as they browsed Specsavers’ designer frame collections before entering the SWOTY competition.

Pictured are Specsavers Drogheda store staff members Jamie Walsh, Emma Friel and Donna Fay at the event, which was a huge success with over 70 entries. The scouting activity also raised valuable funds for Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin with €1 donated to the charity for each entry secured.
