Welcome to Ashbourne Céilí Club

We had a busy schedule during the month of March. On Saturday 13th, we had our spring céilí which as usual was held in the Gealscoil. There always a certain amount of trepidation leading up to this event; will the crowd come? Will we be throwing out all this lovely food? But we mightn’t have worried as they came from near and far, and we so much appreciate the support we receive from the local céilí clubs, Dunboyne, Duleek, Donabate, St. Margaret’s Monaghan and Louth. A terrific night was had by all.

 Then on the 17th, we were honoured to be invited to dance as part of the St. Patricks Day festivities in the town. A great number of our dancers turned up on the day – in fact we had two groups of eight dancing the popular Morris Reel. We then did some of the simpler and better known dances – Siege of Ennis and Walls of Limerick - and had no problem getting the onlookers to join in – it was great to see so many teenagers really enthusiastic and getting into the spirit of the day. Hopefully, we added a little to the general festivities and we look forward to seeing some new faces joining us at our classes in the coming weeks.

Would you like to BE A PART OF IT? Join us any Tuesday night in Gaelscoil na Cille (Irish School behind Community Centre) at 8.30 pm
