TERMONFECKIN ICA.
The monthly meeting of the Termonfeckin ICA Guild was held on June 6th and it was the last meeting before the summer recess. At the meeting it was decided to leave the committee the same as last year due to the splendid job it is doing. An Outing was planned for Friday June 15th to the “Botanic Gardens” and “Glasnevin Cemetery” followed by a meal in “The Thatch” on the way home. The next Federation meeting is on June 26th. The new Louth President is Susan Reynolds (nee Tully), a native of the Guild area and members wish her well in her new appointment. Some members entered their crafts in the Co. Louth Agricultural Show. Congratulations to Rosemarie who won second overall prize for her crafts and Marian who came joint third. Members are looking forward to the An-Grianan Garden Party on June 29th. Members also enjoyed an evening in the The Garden Centre at An-Grianan, courtesy of Susanne. She gave plenty of advice on filling summer pots and loads of tips. Susanne also supplied lovely refreshments and members left full of enthusiasm, ready to get started. Painting Classes continue until the end of June. Termonfeckin ICA Guild members are wished a long and enjoyable summer.
