Recipes for Success ...

A great evening was had by all on Wednesday in Mullingar Community College when we staged the first evening of our Recipes for Success initiative as part of our Healthy Club programme. It was an evening full of fun and learning as the participants prepared and cooked a Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry and a Banana and Berry Smoothie. Both dishes tasted magnificently and this was largely due to the wonderful teaching skills of our tutor for the night Eamonn McGowan. Eamonn has been a Mullingar Shamrocks supporter since he arrived in Mullingar from his native Donegal to work in the Lake County Hotel, a long time home-from-home for Mullingar Shamrocks back in the day. Eamonn, class is permanent. And of course the initiative wouldn't have happened without the enthusiasm and commitment of our Healthy Club Officer, Joan Ormsby. Joan has put together a Healthy Club programme second to none. Mullingar Shamrocks would like to thank the Principal of Mullingar Community College, Mr. Seamus Mohan for making available the superb Home Economics room of the school and staff members Clare Orme, Ben Conroy and Bill Condren for their organisational help; to Maria Burke and Andrina Finch who helped out on the night and a BIG thanks to Kyle Maguire for his sponsorship. And we do it all over again on tonight Thursday when fifteen more young players engage with Recipes for Success at the same time and the same venue.
