The April Monthly Medal (sponsored by An Tairseach) was a very successful evening with representatives Sr. Julie Newman and Sr. Helen Mary Harmey present on the night. Sr Julie gave an overview on the night of the philosophy and aim of An Tairseach and how we can all support them. There was a very impressive display of their produce in the clubhouse on that day which will entice us to shop at An Tairseach's Farm Shop.
