Fund Raising

Our main fund raising event is the Evening Herald Mini Marathon in June. Last year committee members, workshop teachers, friends and transition year students raised over €2'500. We hope to do even better this year. Sponsorship cards are available at the workshop.

Summer Camp

Last year's summer camp was a great success. It was held from 26-30 July, 2004, and provided a mix of specialised teaching, drama, sport, computers and craft. Unfortunately, due to the current financial situation, we will not be able to run the summer camp this year.

AGM

The branch AGM is held in November each year.
