Paddy's Day


St. Patricks Day programme

In a bid to show all at Umbrella the culture and roots of its founders Dave and Viva, the volunteers decided that this year they would put on a St. Patrick’s Day programme for the kids. Instead of the kids entertaining us as they always do, we decided to put on a show for the kids. This consisted of a short play of the ancient Irish myth ‘Tir NaOg’ and face painting for the younger children with plenty of shamrocks thrown in as well.  The volunteers (and the lovely and helpful Durbah) played the cast of the play, all making their own costumes and props. I think it can be said that the children enjoyed it a lot (although we are still unsure if all the laughing was at us or with us!).
