A Bealtaine Miscellany was held in the Donabate Portrane Community Centre on Tuesday 30th April organised by Mary Farrell and Muireann Conway on behalf of Active Age for All and a very enjoyable event it was.

Following an introduction on the origins and customs of Bealtaine by Carolyn Smith there was an abundance of music and singing provided by the Cantoiri, Fran & Co, the Ukulele group and Ed and Muireann. There was a lovely reading by Enid Hughes from the Chinkwell Writers Group and Sybil Harte Weir gave us a rendition of her own composition the ‘Coast of Fingal’ as well as ‘Noreen Bawn’. A feast of entertainment followed by tea and coffee and lots of home bakes, what a lovely way to spend a Tuesday morning !

Active Age for All classes have now finished for the summer but we will be back in action in September, look out for our information day in the Mall on the 30th August. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer, we look forward to seeing you all, and a few new friends, in September!
