Superb evening on Friday November 17th, Bridge St Bar, Castlebar, 7pm till late!
For our end of year get together we are organising a ‘Sip and Dip’ upstairs in Bridge St bar, Castlebar, followed by some finger food, drinks and mingling 😊
A 90-minute themed painting party guided and instructed by a professional artist between 7pm and 8.30pm/9pm. We will decide on the theme to paint on the day.
Easels, aprons, brushes and paints are supplied and a canvas each to take home with your masterpiece. It’s just for a bit of fun, so don’t worry if you can’t paint like Picasso 🎨 I can’t either 😅
€20 per person includes all supplies and food and you may buy your own drinks in the bar throughout the evening.
Thanks, Helen
A big thanks to the artists Tina & Susan from Susan Malone SMart Art School, Cavendish Lane and also to Declan in the Bridge Street Bar.

Mayo Dragons, Committee and Helms meet up at end of 2023 for a meal in the House of Plates.
One of the benefits of being on the committee or being a helm, nudge nudge, wink wink 😁 We had a fab night in House of Plates.
All volunteers and helpers welcome in 2024.

On Tues 13th June, a large group of Men and Women from Ballina came to Lough Lannagh for their first paddling session. While it was only on land, due to Thunder and Lightning, they had great fun and a little taste of what is yet to come.
This eager bunch are setting up a Dragon boat Club in Ballina, Co.Mayo and it will mean that there will be 2 clubs in the county. GMDBC are looking forward to many more meet ups with their Ballina Buddies.
In the photograph, Louise is showing the group how to sit in the boat and the technique that is used when paddling.
Gráine Mhaol Dragon Boat Club wish Pat, Denise and all the gang the best of luck in the process.
