Keeping the old tradition of weaving alive we had a wonderful interactive session provided by Geraldine O’Sullivan from Shanon Heritage on our old spinning wheel. The history and materials for this craft were discussed and was a great source of interest
Clients made their own pottery pieces 
We had our Afternoon Tea Evenings during which we had great entertainment from Shay Callaghan, Noel O’Donoghue and friends and Bernie McDonald
A knitting project produced beautiful baby’s vests to be sent to the Missions in Africa
The Hunt Museum facilitated an introduction to their service and in addition to providing us with information and a slide show they also brought along beautiful costumes and artifacts for us to enjoy
The Arts Council engaged with us for Bealtaine and provided an Art Work Shop with Lorraine Wall which produced wonderful creative pieces which we plan to make into a collage of everyone’s work
The weather was not kind to us so we had some great fun indoors playing sports of different kinds
We had birthday celebrations and baking demonstrations and combined them both on several occasions to mark those special days for our clients
We were delighted to have Tom and Margaret from Tennessee, USA with us for 2 weeks entertaining us with their music and singing and also Margaret held ‘Instant Water Colour Classes’ for clients and they painted some beautiful scenes.
This project is a collaboration with Deirdre O’Brien Vaughan in which we hope to have various international skilled volunteers visiting our Day Centre and taking part in our daily activities
Finally, our Clare Rose, Marie Donnellan joined us and was so generous with her time and met with each client and volunteer from her home town of Newmarket-on-Fergus
