Castlederg in Co Tyrone. April saw our Intergenerational Craft Day with Gillygooley Youth Club and our local school, which closed its doors in June, the interaction between our older folk and the children was wonderful to experience. May was our day away when we visited the Abingdon Collection, which houses an excellent array of antiques, vintage vehicles and memorabilia outside Omagh, followed by tea and scones in Glenpark Estate. 

June was our bus trip to the Armagh Planterium and a delicious meal in Aughnacloy Golf Club. We took a well earned break during July and August and we had our AGM in September. October was celebration time with our 20th Anniversary Dinner and Dance where we were joined by past members and special guests including the Manager of S.W.A.P. Allison Forbes who has supported Gillygooley 2nd Youth since its formation. November was an enjoyable day of reminincing on our Heirlooms an afternoon when members brought along objects from byegone days explained what they were and their use. December was busy so we took a break for Christmas ready to start a New Year fresh. 

Many other activities took place during the year with a weekly class of strengthing, balancing and Tai chi classes weekly so Gillygooley had a busy, enjoyable and active year socialising and making new friends.
