Dear Colleagues, As you may be aware we are renaming our Maghera Championships The May Allen Memorial Feis. We have a completely new set of cups that are being sponsored. Several dancing teachers have already approached us to sponsor cups, so if any teacher or branch would like to do so then please don t hesitate to get in touch, but please don t feel under any obligation to do so! We just need the final order to be finalised as soon as possible. We look forward to welcoming yourselves and your dancers to our Feis which of course will be a very special occasion for us and our dancing school. Many thanks for your continued support, Aileen and Deirdre Close.
