OTHER SUCCESSES
The trip to France for some members was a great success by all accounts. Any details/pics/stories folks?
The SCT pilot scheme and associated 'An Ceolann' (finishing up this evening) was a big success too, with classes on theory, history, musicians, new tunes and CD lending; and the programme is sure to continue in September.
