Welcome to our 3rd newsletter. Its purpose is to provide both members and their parents with some information on the branches activities throughout the year and its achievements in the past.
We hope to bring it out about twice a year.

BRANCH CD
Recording is well on the way for our branch CD. The groups were recorded over 3 days with the co-operation of Niall Keegan of the Irish World Music Centre in the University of Limerick.
It is hoped to launch the CD for the Christmas Market.
We are also looking for suggestions for Irish Names for the different groups. So if you have any suggestions or Ideas please let Sheila know.
