Looking forward to our Annual networking BBQ! Last year was superb - great food, music and networking. Everyone is welcome to come along, meet Tada Rsn staff and find out a little more about what we do within the community. See you there!

We would encourage everyone in a rural area to apply including previous recipients.

Some TADA staff visited the Ballina Salmon Festival over the July holiday period to maintain the good relations between Ballina and Portadown. The highlight of the trip was the Heritage Day. TADA were the guests of honour of the Ballina Chamber of Commerce, Mr Matt Farrell, and were given a tour of the town. There was a perpetual cup in memory of Mr Jim Dickson M.B.E. awarded to "The Lady Of the Moy" it was an extremely busy but enjoyable few days networking and sharing ideas for community planning both North and South of the border.

On Saturday past, TADA partnered up with Rural Community Network Cookstown and the ABC men's initiative to bring men together from across the whole ABC council area to engage in a range of community relations programmes and activities. They visited the Navan Centre Armagh to learn about early pre Celtic times in Ireland. Great stories were told about the myths and legends as well as the Hound of Ulster and Cuchulian. Everyone had a fantastic time having fun while broadening their knowledge of ancient Ireland.

TADA RSN hosted a historical walking tour of Portadown in conjunction with RCN. About 12 people took part and talk was given by local hitsorian Brendan McCann who managed to condense 600 years into an hour and half
