Eily’s Report – 10th March
Dia is mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.
It was a lovely way to start a week. The reception which the Transition Students of the Community School put on for members of our Active Retired Club was wonderful. Following the 10am Mass we were all invited to the Parish Centre where tables were laid out in colourful array. One young member read out a short note of welcome and went on to say what the gathering was all about. It was that the young people wanted to get to know us better and in an friendly and enjoyable way. Young people, boys or girls are the life’s blood of us people who are past our sell by date. They look at things differently. Of course they do. And to get us all together in one place over a cups of tea and lovely sweet buns, it’s amazing the things that come up in the talk. They had printed laminated questions scattered around the tables, I suppose it was their way of getting the ball rolling. But I doubt if one of them was used. The chatter flowed as the T Y’s poured out the tea and talked to every one as they went along. It was enlightening to talk to them about their hopes and plans for the future and the oldies were amazed as to how many of the youngsters that we recognised out of their parents. They moved around the room meeting new people as if they wanted to meet as many as they could in their given time. Their able Chaplin, John Magee was there to see that all went well and also photographers John Tarrant and Sean Radley to see that the happy occasion was captured for history books. Again a member read our a lovely cupla focail the bring the happy occasion to an end at 12 noon. Margaret. Bourke on behalf of the seniors thanked John Magee and the boys and girls of TY for the wonderful memorable occasion.
