Our thoughts are now turning to the summer and the visit by our friends from "Les Jumelages En Vallons de Vilaine" - the new name for CRIC de Guichen. The name may have changed but the people haven't.
Date of Visit is from Friday 10 July to Tuesday 14 July. Some people may arrive earlier or leave later but these are the core dates.
​
If you live in Skerries and are willing to host people for the visit please email skerriestwinning@gmail.com as soon as possible. Please indicate how many people you can accommodate (couple, single etc).
​
Also, if you would like to help with the organising of the weekend in July please let us know. The more help we have the better.
Also - a date for your diaries - a fundraising Table Quiz will take place in Skerries Harps on Friday 27 March at 8.00 PM. Tables of 4 @ €40. If anyone knows anyone who might donate prizes (raffle or main prizes) please let us know.
