Summer Club, BBC Radio Ulster, 3pm The Irish Open - Highlights, BBC One Northern Ireland, 10.50pm Sunday 31 May Irish Open Special, BBC Radio Ulster, 6pm The Irish Open - Highlights, BBC One Northern Ireland, 10.30pm As the Irish Open returns to Northern Ireland, BBC NI will be there to bring golf fans coverage of this event across TV, radio and online. Each night during the tournament, Stephen Watson will present a 60 minute highlights programme after the BBC News At Ten on BBC One NI which will be packed full of that day’s action from the Royal County Down Course as local Major Champions Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke are joined by a star studded field for the competition. Stephen Watson says: “I have been very fortunate to cover many of golf’s major tournaments around the world, but to be fronting BBC Northern Ireland’s coverage of such a large event right on our doorstep is something extremely exciting. Royal Portrush in 2012 captured a very special moment in Northern Ireland's sporting history and I expect Royal County Down this May to be another unique experience, because of the world class field Rory McIlroy has helped attract to play the famous County Down links. “It's fantastic that we can show you all the action from the Irish Open on BBC One NI in four hour-long highlights shows, plus bring you a week of live coverage from Newcastle on BBC Newsline.” BBC Radio Ulster will have coverage of the build up to the event from Wednesday 27 May at 6.30pm as Joel Taggart presents a preview programme ahead of what promises to be a very special event. Joel will also be live from Newcastle throughout the four day competition with an Irish Open Special at 6.30pm on Thursday 28 May and Friday 29 May and live with Michael McNamee on Saturday 30 May for a special Summer Club from 3pm, where they will be hearing from a whole host of celebrities and big names from the golfing world. Joel will also be there on the final day as we hear who will be lifting the trophy at this prestigious competition on BBC Radio Ulster from 6pm.Throughout the week Joel will be joined by golf coach Johnny Foster and will be hearing from all the players who have been making the headlines throughout the tournament. On Saturday 30 May, BBC Radio Ulster will also have a special outside broadcast from Newcastle with John Toal from 11am and later in the afternoon; listeners will have another chance to hear A Round With Anne Marie from 1.05pm. Whilst the great and the good of the golfing world are competing in Newcastle for the Irish Open Golf Championship, Anne Marie McAleese will join some special guests, including snooker legend Dennis Taylor and singing star Rose-Marie, for a round of golf at Belvoir Park Golf Club. The special guests will share their stories about golf and life in general as they try to stay out of the bunkers and on the fairway. Throughout the tournament fans can keep updated with all the action at bbc.co.uk/sportni BBC NI at The Irish Open at a glance. MD _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ SUNDAY 24 MAY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 22 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Foodie 4/6 Continues on Sunday 31 May BBC Radio Ulster, 12.30pm bbc.co.uk/radioulster Keen cook and self-professed enthusiastic eater Kim Lenaghan continues to travel the length and breadth of Northern Ireland meeting people with a passion for food, on Sunday 30 May on BBC Radio Ulster at 12.30pm. The Foodie follows Kim as she meets up with dedicated artisan producers and chefs creating culinary magic. The series considers how new trends in food production and an increasing interest in how we eat are influencing every aspect of the place where we live - putting pride back on our plates, enhancing the economy and making Northern Ireland a top destination for committed foodies from around the globe. In the fourth programme Kim is on the road again and heading to the north-west to sample the culinary delights of Derry. From cutting edge street food in the Pyke and Pommes truck on the banks of the Foyle to fine dining with Ian Orr at Brown’s restaurant, she discovers this is a city of contrasting tastes, all of them good. To wash it down there is a glass of Poker Tree craft beer brewed in County Tyrone and a final flourish in Fermanagh taking afternoon tea with chef Noel McMeel in the picturesque surroundings of the Five Star Lough Erne Resort. CC _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Folk Aduaidh NEW Starting on Sunday 31 May BBC Two Northern Ireland, 10.30pm Long before Bob Dylan there was folk music in Ulster. From the Blue Stack Mountains of Donegal to the busy streets of Belfast City; folk music pulses through the landscape and the people of this place. Folk Aduaidh is a new three-part series that examines the untold history of folk music in Ulster alongside the social, political and cultural backdrop of the time. The local folk music scene is one of extraordinary richness and diversity stemming from thousands of years of inward and outward migration. This series tells the journey of folk music in Northern Ireland through interviews with leading musicians and experts, world class musical performances and rarely seen archive footage. The series features musicians Andy Irvine, Cara Dillon, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Maighread and Tríona Ní Dhomnhaill, Tommy Sands, Colum Sands, Neil Martin, Barry Douglas to name a few. The first programme in the three-part series charts from the 1600s up to the Folk Revival and into the 1960s. Through the looking glass of the Belfast Harp Festival of 1792, when the last of the Mohicans of the old Gaelic system gathered, we follow the great collectors who came in the wake of Edward Bunting in the early 20th Century. The ebb and flow of Ulster song and music carried by the voices of Paddy Tunney, Sarah Makem, Geordie Hanna and Sarah Anne O’Neill, as well as musical legends such as Sean McGuire, provided the foundations for a resurgence of folk music in Ulster in the 1960s. The first programme also charts Co. Armagh singer Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers gaining fame in America and the focus moving to Ulster where the first steps of the Folk Club movement were being made in the 1960s. The programme on Sunday 31 May on BBC Two Northern Ireland at 10.30pm features previously unseen archival footage of Pete Seeger, a pioneer of the American folk revival, on his trip to Ireland, as well as interviews and exclusive performances with Andy Irvine, Len Graham, Joe Burke, Nigel and Diane Boullier, Pádraigín Ní Uallacháin, Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde, Lillis Ó Laoire, Stephanie Makem and Dónal O’Connor. Folk Aduaidh is made by Sonas productions with funding from Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund. MD _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ MONDAY 1 JUNE TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 22 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Greatest Gardens NEW Starts on Monday 1 June BBC One Northern Ireland, 7.30pm Who has the greatest private garden in Northern Ireland? Diarmuid Gavin and Helen Dillon are on the garden path to find out. The pair team up to present the new series, Greatest Gardens, which begins on Monday 1 June, BBC One Northern Ireland at 7.30pm. Wherever you are in Northern Ireland, you’re never more than a few streets away from a superb secret garden. These gardens, tucked out of sight from the public, will often have obsessive, proud owners keen to cultivate the biggest, the brightest and the best, all the while gathering peer recognition and horticultural awards. Now these passionate purveyors of gardening greatness are going to be pitted against each other as Diarmuid Gavin and Helen Dillon track down the best-kept horticultural secrets in the country. In each programme Diarmuid and Helen visit three very different secret hideaways around a particular part of Northern Ireland. They examine and appraise the gardens while the nervous owners wait inside for their verdict. And there’ll be plenty of good natured banter and takeaway tips from our experts along the way, before they finally meet the gardener. At the end of the programme, after seeing all three gardens, Diarmuid and Helen decide which of the three they have enjoyed the most, basing their choice on the classic gardening competition criteria of planting, design and good gardening practice.

The pinnacle was our Sports Day held on Tuesday 12th June at the Mary’s Peter Track. Fortunately the rain stayed off for Sports Day and the thunder storms began just as the final relay of the day took place. All of the year 8 – 11 pupils were selected to take part in Sports Day either in an individual event, Relay or the 800m. The track events included the 100m, 200m, 800m and the 4X100m Relay. The field events were the Long Jump, Shot putt, Javelin and Discus. The day ended with the staff relays. This year both year 11 teams managed to beat the male and female teams. A first for the students! Lets not say the staff are getting slower, but rather that the students are being trained and coached to such a high level by the PE Department! Sports day was a great accomplishment thanks to the organisation and planning of Mrs Gough, Mr McCloskey, the House team captains and the assistance of all members of staff at the track.

  • Newsletter 92 April 2004
    The Newsletter of the IRISH GARDEN PLANT SOCIETY ISSUE NO. 92 APRIL 2004 EDITORIAL Dear Members, It is especially good to have articles about Irish cultivars in the newsletter. Séamus O Brien, Sally O Halloran and Patrick Quigley have interesting contributions in this issue while Charles Nelson draws out attention to items of Irish interest in Graham Stuart Thomas’ posthumously published book. Three gardening events of the past while are worth mentioning as they were highly successful, featured many Irish cultivars and set a standard of excellence to be imitated: the Snowdrop Week in Altamont Gardens organised by Paul Cutler and staff, the open day as part of the RHS BicentenaryCelebration at Bob Gordon’s and Margaret Glynn’s gardens in Ballymena, both IGPS members and The Plantsmans’Day at Glasnevin, organised by Paul Maher, Séamus O Brien and staff. The highest of praise is due to all involved as they were marvellous occasions. Thankfully, the attendances reflected the excellence of the events. Encore all three? From the reports received, IGPS events throughout the country have provided a winter of excellent gardening entertainment and motivation to members. IGPS members’ gardens will surely be areas of outstanding beauty this summer. Well done, organisers! Best wishes to Dr. Donal Synnott on his retirement from the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin. His support for the IGPS has been generously given and much appreciated. May all flowers bloom profusely in his garden. Rose Sevastopulo is retiring from her position as Executive Secretary of the Society. She has been a stalwart of the Society for many years and great praise and thanks are due to her along with our best wishes for her continued involvement in gardening.
