Knitting is”cool” at the moment so do join in the fun. ICA ladies all over the country will be knitting hats and scarves for the Irish Heart Foundation but you must use the special wool and patterns . All details are with the guild secretaries.

One of the highlights of the year in east Limerick is the Cappamore Show and the ICA ladies played their part with two cookery sessions given by Edward Hayden and two sessions of flower arranging given by Carol O Keeffe and a demonstration of buttermaking by Breda Mc Donald former ICA Bootcamp mentor.
The winners of the craft competition were 1^st Anne O Flynn Cappamore Guild- Anne won  The Biddy Mullane Trophy , 2^nd Marie O Leary  Castletroy Guild and 3^rd Maura Hallam Kildimo Guild.
