change of plan for Saturday’s trip to Cashel

Because of of the reduced numbers travelling to Cashel on Saturday, we have decided to go directly to Bru Boru in Cashel. We will meet up with a group of young musicians from Tipperary Fleadh at 4.30pm after which we will visit the other attractions there before sitting down for Dinner at 7 o’clock.

The Show will commence at 9.00pm and we hope to leave at around 10.30pm in order to get back home a little after 1.00am. It should be a most enjoyable trip at a very reasonable cost of €20 per Head.

Message from Oliver Sheedy

The last Class of the term on the 26th April will be a Class Session and the venue will be the Parish Hall behind the Church as the School is unavailable that Day. It would also be possible to have the Parish Hall on Saturday 3rd May so that those competing in the Dublin Fleadh on the following weekend could practice. I would welcome your comments.
