News from the Guilds
Grange Guild arranged their centenary outing to ‘The Sunny South East’ where they followed the trail of the founders of The Irish Country Women’s Association. Among the places visited was the village of Bree, the grave of founder Anita Lette and Olegate where the oldest guild in the country is still active, having been formed in 1910 shortly after the first guild in Bree was established. Lots of other places of interest were also included in their long weekend, which all too soon came to an end.
Ballyagran members are celebrating with their President Kathleen Cunningham who won 24 prizes at Newcastle West Flower Show, surely a record achievement. Well-done Kathleen
