Welcoming new members with tea, tasty treats and music!

March 21, 2024/ Pauline Mahon

Blending in with our regular musicians and singers, Thursday night last, saw the repertoire of musical instruments expand, as we welcomed three new Ramblers, who entertained us with their songs, accordion, guitar and uilleann pipe music. Poetry and acting, combined with our usual supply of homemade tasty treats brought our session to a memorable conclusion. April Rambling House dates are Thursday 4th and Thursday 18th. Happy Easter to everyone.

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".
