Summer of 2016
While rooting through our archives recently, I happened upon a bunch of photographs taken one balmy summers evening {14th of June} back in 2016; when Norah’s class in Rahan linked up with her class in Ballyboy for a mighty evenings craic in Dan & Molly’s. Thanks to John Murphy for capturing the images on the night and Betty Digan for putting this collage of pics together.

Looking forward to when we can all meet up again and rise sparks from the floor, or the street!
