Another Successful Kids Day @ The Irish Club

We had a fantastic Kids Day on Tuesday 22nd April. Those who attended learned some Irish words for things like, butterfly, tree, bee and ladybird (God's little cow!!) - oh and we all went home covered in paint!!

Thanks to all who attended for making it another great success. It's always lovely to see new faces and we thank our regulars for their support too! The Irish Language class hosts the kids day as a means of introducing the junior members of the IAA to Gaelige.

We really encourage the kids to become Junior Members of the IAA - at $5 per year, it's a cheap way to stay involved, make your kids feel welcome and ensure the club's future.
