We Are 3 Years Old!
April 20, 2026

Today: April 20th 2026, marks the third anniversary of the foundation (that sounds real posh!) of Moygownagh's Rambling House Group.

On that momentus day, the three cofounders had no idea what this group would look like, where it would lead, or indeed if it would even take off at all.

Three years later it is important to remember our first small steps as we blossomed and grew into the happy established community group we are today.

Without naming everyone individually: thank you to our dedicated members who turn up regularly, to those who have spent time with us as guest speakers; trainers, or helped in any capacity.

It is also important to remember those who are no longer with us, but who's contribution and memories stay forever in our minds.

With hope in our hearts, we look forward to a new year of meetings, greetings, laughter and further learning experiences.

Moygownagh

Moygownagh (Gaelic - Magh Gamhnach) is a rural village and parish in North Mayo. Situated between the towns of Ballycastle and Crossmolina, it has a population of 585. The parish derives its name from an ancient 7th century legend where a wandering St. Cormac met St. Daria, the abbess of a monastery along the banks of the Owenmore river. She treated him so hospitably that he blessed her and her lands so that they would abound in milch cows (fertile cows with milk) thereafter the area became known as "the plain of the milch cows" or "Magh Gamhnach".
