Digital Storytelling.

Over the Winter months a small group of ladies took part in a trial run of a Digital Storytelling course. It was organised under the auspices of Age NI who provided funding and WEA who managed the course. It was designed to allow people to tell their stories and to record them for posterity in the form of a selection of pictures and voice-over commentary.
Dromboughil hosted the Offical Launch of the programme on Friday 13th May 2011 and a number of the participants came along.

Valerie welcomed all who had come along to the event.

As part of the morning we showed the short presentation which the participants had done.

As always, at Dromboughil events food was served, this time in the form of a finger buffet lunch.




























Lunch and a chat.

Friday 22nd April 2011 saw our annual Easter Coffee morning which also doubled as an art exhibition to display the work of the art class which had recently fininshed. (It returns for 6 weeks on Tuesday 7th June 2011)

Some of the artists brought along other work to let us see them.

Not at all bad for amateurs and some first timers.

Our faithful FADA group supported us as usual.

Bridie got the big hamper - full of all sorts of lovely chocolate. (The first prize she won and the only one she accepted)

Time for a chat.

Alice won the fruit basket - (she was really after the chocolate!)

I won a chocolate cake which was greatly appreciated by my family, my sons in particular!

Grounds clean-up by BB

On Saturday 19th February 2011 a small group of members from the local Boys Brigade came along with their officers to do a clear up of the Centre grounds. (This was part of their Community Service badgework)

They did a great job clearing up the leaves and debris left by the Winter storms and just generally tidied the place up.

Another job some of the undertook was to plant up some Spring bulbs in pots that will brighten the front of the entrance to the Centre.





Good job boys. Thank you to you all! (And the Officers who gave up their Saturday morning to come along and supervise the boys)

Dromboughil Pre-Christmas Table Sale

Saturday 13th November proved to be a very busy day in the Community Centre with our Pre-Christmas table sale.

It was a very pleasant day weatherwise and the sale was well supported by the local community.















Katrina Lynch came along with a selection of Jamie Oliver Cookware.












Mary Kathleen Groogan brought along a variety of articles from her shop that would make good Christmas presents.

















There was a wide variety of crafts available on sale - no excuse for not finding something from Crafty Crafts.

















Iona Gems proved to be very popular. A wonderful range of jewellery was on display.































You could have a seat and have a cup of tea which was included in the entrance fee of a mere £2.00.



























The Top Tier Bakery was probably the most popular stand as it contained such a wealth of lovely sweet temptation.











Olive did a fine job selling raffle tickets for our Christmas raffle

The winning tickets will be drawn at the Christmas Coffee Morning which will be held on 17th December 2010. Get your tickets now from the office.
