Fáilte an Chathaoirligh - Chairperson's Welcome
Time certainly seems to move quickly in CCE Leixlip!
It seems that only recently that we were welcoming new and returning students to our Monday evening classes and sharing plans for the year ahead.
That was September 2024 and here we are at the end of the two class terms, many events now just memories, including the recent Kildare Fleadh in Maynooth.
But there is much to look forward to including the Leinster & All Ireland Fleadh events, not to mention the many Summer Schools & Festivals that many of you are planning to attend.
Another busy year for our Branch with so so many people to thank for delivering upon all our plans.
But amongst all the work and positivity our Branch has also experienced sadness and loss with the recent passing of Anna Pegley & Máire Uí Fhlatharta. Both Anna & Máire contributed significantly to our Branch over the last 4 decades. Anna through her teaching & love of dancing and Máire through her presence, positivity, drive and willingness to undertake any role or task that was required to develop our Branch. May they Rest in Peace.
As a Branch we can honour their legacy by continuing to deliver opportunities to enjoy Traditional Music, Song & Dance within our Community.
Enjoy the weeks ahead whatever your plans. Planning for the coming year has already commenced, so please watch out for updates and notifications across all our Social Media Platforms.
Warm regards,
Ian O'Toole
