Sorry I haven't been active on the forums here for a long time. We have been busy with all sorts of events running six week programmes in conjunction with the N.C.F.F.I. the Angling Council of Ireland, I.F.I., the Carlow Sports Partnership, Irish Wheelchair Association, Rehab Carlow and groups from Waterford and Wexford. Well all the above and the courses we have been attending for Child Protection and First Aid etc. etc.
