Now that the COVID-19 restrictions are being eased, it is hoped that we can gradually resume our programme of events, though always in full respect for the government health guidelines in force.

The event originally scheduled for Sunday the 5th of December in Drogheda Grammar School has been postponed to a future date.

The Council of the MAHS hopes our members will enjoy these events and will observe all the required social distancing guidelines in doing so.
