Daily News 24th July

         
 

Today was Irish Day...

What a festival of Irish culture !

 

 
     
     
 

Another busy and varied day but I have to start at the end (we are in Ireland after all!) as this was for many the highlight of the day – we all attended the preview opening show of "Dancing Thru The Ages" at the Firkin Crane Theatre in Cork.

What a festival of Irish culture with 7 musicians and a really pro dance troop. Judging by the way the group were clapping in time to the vibrant Irish music they had a great time. It really gave us all a taste of the best Irish music and dance along the lines of River Dance!

All the specialist programmes ran as normal and to end the afternoon we had a coaching session in Irish Hurling on the big field. Also we used the sports hall. It was a good introduction to this national sport.

The golfers had a big handicap competition over 9 holes and will complete it the last day tomorrow.

Stand by for our big final day with a few tears and emotions I am sure. The group have really bonded well and are like one big happy family.

As it is our Irish focus day what better time than to introduce our 2 lovely Irish girls Sarah and Rachel!

Both are young and energetic and willing to try and help out in all areas. They are students and helping in the facilities area plus with many of the programmes.

Both enjoy sports and the chance to travel and meet people from other cultures.
