Knit Night now a regular fortnightly event (Thursday Evenings)

February 29, 2024/ Pauline Mahon

Our Rambling House guest speaker expressed her interest in establishing a Knit-Night, operating on a regular basis from Moygownagh’s Learning Forum. If interested please contact Jamie on 0851891777 for further details. Pomes, Prose, Music, and Song, together with the surprise of having our group photograph taken, added to the Ramblers enjoyment. Thank you to P. J. Hughes, Crossmolina, for the photo opportunity and Moygownagh GAA for posting it on their Facebook page. Our night concluded with the much-anticipated home bakes and tea! Rambling House Dates for March are Thursday 7th and Thursday 21st.

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".
