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.
