Over the past 4 weeks a number of children attended and judging by their reaction all enjoyed the experience. After spending some time “getting their hands dirty” in the polytunnels, they were all handsomely fed with burgers and hot

dogs from Leslie Armstrong’s infamous BBQ.

Well supervised by Bernie McKenna and Betty Meneely amongst others, who also served up liquid refreshments and sweets, and all left with a momento of their time spent there.
