- Flower Arranging Classes with James Burnside & funded by Awards For All.
There was a great interest in this
beginners class and both Monday & Wednesday nights had full
attendance. The participants soon flurished under the expert
guidance of James and each week their confidence grew as did their
arrangements! Over a cuppa & a cake on the last night the
groups agreed that they thoroughly enjoyed the class & the
challenges that faced them each week. Some new friendships were
made & everyone agreed to continue flower arranging at home.- News on Vintage Rally 08.
Good
weather favoured the 5th annual Kilcronaghan Vintage Rally &
ensured a really good response with a record number of participants. Once again the number of vintage entries &
stall holders/car booters had broken previous records. The
organisers would like to thank all who worked so hard previous to &
on the day.
Thanks also to all sponsors
& funders, MDC, DECAL
& ERDE.
- Plans are already underway to improve & build on the success of this well supported event.
