 The group, which regularly tours North America and Europe, will be back in Northern Ireland by invitation of the Ballycarry Community Association and Broadisland Gathering Festival committee.

 North Sea Gas have several albums to their credit and have appeared in concert

 Funds raised from the concert, being held on Friday, February 17, will being going to the Assocation to assist with its projects and the event gets underway at 7.30pm.

 Tickets are £10 and go on sale this week at the Larne Leisure Centre and at Beattie's Shop in Ballycarry, Schomberg House in Belfast and Carrickfergus Museum.

Hi Folks,
 
Please find attached details of a weekend trip to London from 15th to 17th June 2012, for the GOLE Queen's Diamond Jubilee Parade & Rally on 16th June.   As this trip is by plane rather than Bus, you will have three days in London, to see the Trooping of the Colour, take part in the Parade and Rally, or shop,visit the various tourist sites such as Covent Garden Market or go to one of the many shows currently running in London.  
 
We will be accompanied by Dungiven Crown Defenders Flute Band and there are still seats available.  
 
The Coach to the Airport is leaving Londonderry and persons may be picked by arrangement and others will be collected along the route, e.g. Drumahoe, Dungiven, Castledawson, Magherafelt.  Persons may also join the group at Belfast International airport.


 
If you wish to travel, please contact by return, as spaces are becoming limited.


 
Regards,
 
William

Dear All,

On behalf of everyone at the Ulster-Scots Community Network I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your members a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful

and Prosperous New Year.

 

2011 has been a busy yet rewarding time for the organisation and we are pleased to have been of assistance to many of you throughout the year.

In order to assess your satisfaction and help us plan for the future, we have designed a quick and easy confidential on line survey   for our member groups.

 

I’d really appreciate it if you could spare two minutes to tick a few boxes and give us some feedback on what we do.

Simply click this link – http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PKSVFJR to take part in the survey.

I can guarantee that all responses are confidential – we have no way of knowing the identity of those who respond.

 

Thanks & Regards to all,

Iain
