Achievements and Perforniance Here is a summary of the past year for the Enagh Seniors, Group.. This was a relatively quiet year since our funding application to the DC&SDC wasn't acceptable, however thanks to assistance from A Council Officer an application to the National Lottery Community Fund was prepared and submitted in the autumn. Meanwhile back in the library something stirred. the residual balan from the previous yearfsfunding and our own contributions enabled us to continue basic meetings and respond to offersfrom othervoluntary organisations. An invitation from the Lettershandoney Community Association filled in very well with music and movement motivated by a small band with weekly session on Thursday mornings with a small band. including reminiscing about the music we had enjoyed in our earlier year. This was well received with a lunch that we paid for individually and ending with an after lunch Bingo session. Thi5 was duringthe late spring May/June. Some old acquaintances were renewed. Our thanks to the Project Leader LCA for his invitation and hospitality. Again we participated with the Strathfoyle Community Association in a bus run to Glenveigh National Park followed by a late lunch in Donegal town. SO it was back to Strathfoyle on a sunlight evening we all enjoyed this excursion The AGM was held in June with the current office bearers standing down and being re-elected with one change Ann Bryson replaced Mr Charlie Sweeney who was Vice chairperson. The annual break took place in August, with the Annual Mc Millan Coffee morning in Septemberthat raised £390.20, this was handed overto the Mc Millan representatives in November. The autumn quarter was energised with cooking demonstrations and handicraft classes provided byAlley Foyle. Making Halloween and Christmas decorations the outputs from the cookery class was sampled and enjoyed by the members. Again, in early Decemberwe attended the Annual Christmas dinner provided by SCA at the Belfray Inn, an enjoyable evening with some music and dancing. We had a great Christmas present when the chairperson received a letter of an award of £6,140 from the National Lottery Community Fund. This was very welcome. Some of the funds enabled the purchase of small tools and equipment for 4 of us to work with the River Faughan Anglers Ltd and the Loughs Agencyto plant the 150 saplings raised by ourselves (Home Tree Nursery Project) on the Faughan riverine strip at Tennaght near Park. Whilst there the hills had a light dusting of snow. we also provided 100 extra bare root stock of hawthorn and blackthorn for riverbank protection. Again thanks to my colleagues for keeping the show on the road especiallywith engaging a Project Support Person to beef up our activities for March 24. Currently we are preparing another 2-year Application for 2025-26. Our members are a sociable bunch who enjoyall sorts of activities, getting out and about and are always game to try new ventures as with tree Planting. 'WE LAUGH, LOVE LIFE, LIVE LONGER" Some members greatly enjoythe monthly Mayorfs tea dance in the Guildhall. We remained in contact with the Sligo Cara Group. Again thanks to libraries Nl for providing the room for our weekly actiwties sending out the invitations for the Mc Millan Coffee Morning in September and officiating at OUR AGM. Also providing advice and information.
