HAPPY CHRISTMAS! The Claddagh Committee and Coordinator wish all members of the Irish community in WA a very happy and safe Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Thank you for all your support of Claddagh’s work throughout 2021. We could not have achieved our aims without our principal funder, the Emigrant Support Programme of the Government of Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs and without the generous donations, volunteer hours, expert advice, fundraisers and more from our supporters here in WA. We look forward to meeting up with you over the festive season and into 2022.
CLADDAGH SENIORS The Claddagh Seniors Group have been making the most of the fine weather to get out and about in WA. In September they took a trip to Parkerville, where they enjoyed the beautiful scenery, a delicious lunch at the Parkerville Tavern and the resident animals. In October the Seniors subcommittee hosted a wonderful picnic at the Wildflower Pavilion in Kings Park. The group had a great time wandering amongst the magnificent floral displays. Any seniors from the Irish community in WA are very welcome to attend the last Claddagh Seniors Group events for 2021. On Monday the 22nd November they will be taking a bus trip to Moore River and on Monday the 13th December they will celebrate Christmas with their annual lunch at the Mighty Quinn Tavern. If you, or a senior you know from the Irish community, would like to attend the group’s events you can register by calling Patricia Bratton of the Seniors Subcommittee on 0417 099 801/08 9345 3530 or by contacting Claddagh Coordinator Anne Wayne on admin@claddagh.org.au/08 9249 9213. 64 | THE IRISH SCENE
