The exhibition at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum charts the history of Irish Dance from the late

1800s to present day, through costume, embroidery, images and film. From the itinerant dance masters

of the 1800s to today’s ‘masters of dance’ there is a rich and colourful story to be told. The exhibition

is arranged in eight sections and tells the story of Irish Dance in almost 100 objects, ranging in date

from a medieval brooch, to a contemporary diamante embroidered costume for solo competition.

The exhibition includes reference to the 1904 Feis in the Glens of Antrim, a landmark event in Ulster’s

recent cultural history, with competition in music, drama, craft work and dance. Embroidered costumes,

medals and certificates will tell the story of the development of both dance schools and governing

bodies for Irish Dance. The exhibition will display, for the first time, a selection from the museum’s

collection of costume for the Patricia Mulholland Ballet. Patricia Mulholland was one of Ireland’s most

talented choreographers, performers and teachers of Irish Dance, for almost 50 years from the late

1940s. The global phenomenon that was, and is, Riverdance will be interpreted in the gallery through

dance costumes and film footage of the breath-taking 1994 Eurovision interval performance. nmni.com

A County Down artist is holding a special exhibition at the John

Hewitt Bar in Belfast in aid of local charity Cancer Fund for Children.

Since retiring from his role as Principal of Ballymagee Primary School

four years ago, Edward Ferguson has been devoting more time to art.

As a member of Seacourt, the Centre for Contemporary Printmaking,

based in the Balloo Industrial Estate, Edward has been able to

develop new skills and explore modern printmaking processes. The

result can be seen as ‘Serendipity’ runs from Monday 2nd February to

Saturday 28th at the John Hewitt Bar, 51 Donegall Street, Belfast. The

proceeds of the sale of Edward’s limited edition prints will be donated

The brain child of County Down husband and wife

team Ron and Jennifer Kenna, Belfast-based pedal

bike tour company Wee Toast Tours has officially

launched its unique tour offering, enabling visitors to

Belfast and locals see the thriving city on this unique

attraction, never before seen in the UK or Ireland. It

has taken in excess of 2 years and an investment

of £30,000 just to develop and get the bike on the

streets of Belfast, but the company already has future

plans for expansion including additional bikes on Belfast’s streets and across Ireland in the next two years.

In addition to an on-board barrel and tap, Wee Toast Tours’ massive 860kg 15-person pedal bike, uniquely

built in and imported from The Netherlands, features stationary seats for each passenger as well as a set

of foot pedals for each member of the party to contribute to the bike’s motion. The bike is steered by Ron,

the designated driver, who also has control of the hydraulic brake. weetoasttours.com

Kieran Bain, Belfast and Morgan Ellis, Bangor, enjoy a lunchtime ride on the Wee Toast Tours bike

HOLYWOOD EDITION #2/FEBRUARY 2015 YOUR LOCAL PHARMACIST

Burns Pharmacy in Holywood is encouraging people to ‘come to their pharmacy first’ for advice and treatment for common winter ailments.

COME TO PHARMACY FIRST

We have all witnessed

(either first hand

or through the media) the

significant pressures that have

been experienced over recent

weeks and months within

Hospital Services in Northern

Ireland. This is therefore a

perfect time to remind and

encourage people to ‘come

to pharmacy first’ for advice

and treatment for common

ailments. The Urgent and

Emergency Care Review (2013)

highlighted that 20 percent

of GP consultations relate

to common ailments which

could largely be dealt with by

self care and by support from

community pharmacies.

A lot of patients do not

realise that when suffering

from certain common minor

ailments, they can access

free advice and treatment at

many pharmacies, including

Burns Pharmacy here in

Holywood. Not only do

patients benefit from easy

access to expert advice and

treatment without the need

for an appointment, it also

helps to ease the pressure

on GP practices and A&E

Departments. When you visit

your community pharmacy,

the pharmacist will discreetly

ask you a range of questions

about your symptoms, other

medicines you take and any

illnesses you have etc. This

will help the pharmacist to

make a recommendation for

your treatment and where

appropriate the pharmacist

will also be able write a

prescription for you for certain

common minor ailments.

As pharmacists, we are also

trained to know when to refer

on to another healthcare

professional, such as your GP,

so you should feel confident to

make community pharmacy

(and I hope Burns Pharmacy

in Holywood) your first port of

call for common ailments.

know no bounds. As an

example there is arts and

crafts, table tennis, snooker,

puppet shows, 3D projects,

cooking, games and above

all interaction with kids of

a similar, younger or older

age which has proved

invaluable for confidence

and team work. Tied in with

the activities are seasonal

Patricks, Christmas, pancake

Tuesday and so on along

with safety lessons too.

The cost for all clubs is

HOLYWOOD EDITION #2/FEBRUARY 2015 JOIN THE CLUB

JOIN THE CLUB!Pauline has been in charge

now and has proved to

be a huge inspiration to

the children. She and her

team (who are also former

former kids club attendees)

Hannah, Jack, Sinead and

Tina have each and every

day planned out and the

kids get plenty of exercise

too with activities in the

trips out and about take

place throughout the year.

The buzz about the place

is fantastic and all the

children clearly see this as

an important part of their

school week. Friendships

are made across all ages,

everyone knows each other

and many keep in touch

One of the strengths of

the U3A movement is

that it is the members who

decide the approach or focus

of any individual group. The

first output of the Holywood

District local history team

was a photographic

exhibition displayed in the

Holywood Library entitled

Holywood – Who and

When? The exhibition drew

on a fascinating range of

photographs held in the

Archives of the Holywood

Library, some of them going

back nearly 100 years. The

photographs were grouped

under four themes – sports,

schools, youth organisations

and personalities. The public

were invited to help fill in the

gaps – and there were many

lively discussions around

the exhibition, as childhood

memories and recollections

were prompted.

This has encouraged

members of the U3A group

to embark on a longer

term project drawing on

the reminiscences of old

Holywood residents, called

The Way We Were - Holywood

People Remember. An

initial list of over 50 friends

and neighbours has been

drawn up, each of whom

is being invited to share

their recollections with

a member of the U3A.

Already a fascinating range

HOLYWOOD EDITION #2/FEBRUARY 2015 HISTORY IN THE MAKING

/// Set up just over a year ago, Holywood District U3A now has more than a hundred enthusiastic members. About a dozen different pursuits are now undertaken by the membership, including creative writing, philosophy, art, gardening, walk-ing, bowls and local history. Here, Robin Masefield, Convenor of/for the Local History Group looks at the local history group in particular.

THIRD AGE

of information has come to

light, whether about one of

the leading local families in

the area (the Kennedys) or

those who were involved in

the daily removal of night soil

from Palace Barracks during

the Second World War. It

is likely that a book based

on Holywood residents’

recollections will result.

Another project in train is

a further exhibition, using

both material in the Library

Archives and information

identified through the

reminiscence project, about

Holywood people and the

First World War.

In addition, the group

holds monthly meetings in

Holywood Library, often with

an outside speaker. Visits to

historic sites, both near and

far, have also been arranged.

Chair of U3A is Joy Montgomery. Membership is open to anyone who is retired or not in full-time employment. It costs just £20 per year. (You do not even have to live in Holywood.) Further information is available on the Holywood U3A website (u3asites.org.uk/code/u3asite.php?site=638&page=1) or about

FEBRUARY: There are many events held and celebrated dur-ing February. The Super Bowl, LGBT History Month, World Marriage Day and of course Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day was traditionally celebrated in the UK by giving confectionary and cards. However as time has moved on traditions have changed and we now expect Bouquets of Flowers, Sumptu-ous Candle Lit Dinners and of course Champagne, the wine of love. So this month we’re going to talk about the virtues of the marvelous Champagne Deutz. The Morrell family and Cham-pagne Deutz go back to the 1970s when Deutz was Morrell’s

private label Champagne. Now owned by Champagne Louis Roederer, this cham-pagne is better than ever! On the nose, the first impressions are mellow and reminiscent of acacia flowers, confectionery, reinette apples and brioche. The voluminous wine has a silky, velvety structure which displays a harmonious balance between the freshness of the chardonnay, the fruity structure of the pinot noir and vinosity of petit meunier. This is very cred-ible and serious Champagne for those with a discerning palate and exceptionally good taste. Available at Grange Wine Merchants from only £35.99

the province.

“We are hoping that 500

families will take part and

will be able to raise about

£50 each to help us reach our

total. £25k could provide a

free therapeutic short break

at Daisy Lodge for 72 families

or 625 one-to-one support

sessions with a Cancer Fund

for Children Specialist on

the hospital wards of the

Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick

Children,” she said.

the bravest of the brave

as they battled for a place

of awesome athletes from

around the country took

part in the Belfast National

Qualifier at the Odyssey

Each contender was tasked

with proving their skills by

completing two qualifier

runs of the test track, which

included negotiating

0.5m high jumps, a 0.5m

underpass and bollards, in

the fastest time possible.

Red Bull Crashed Ice is an

extreme ice cross downhill

event in which full contact

four-man teams skate along

a 440 metre track of steep

turns and vertical drops in

a timed battle involving

speeds of up to 60 km/h.

On February 20th and 21st,

over 140 athletes, including

Bangor lads Darren Snel,

Nathan Mount and Scot

Bickerstaff, will compete on

a heart-pumping specially

designed assault course

positioned in front of

Parliament Buildings before

a global television audience

and up to 40,000 local

spectators over the two

day event.

As you know, Holywood

is a unique location

in terms of its heritage and

architecture. Many homes

and commercial properties

must adhere to special

requirements due to being

located in a conservation

area, and the good news

is that this is a speciality

for Casement Windows.

The Holywood company

FEBRUARY 2015 11HOLYWOOD ADVERTISERwww.holywoodadvertiser.com

AN EXPLOSION of graffiti across NorthDown, including Holywood, has cost theHousing Executive almost £90,000 in thepast two years alone, it has emerged thisweek.

The housing body has had to spend thefive figure sum on removing graffiti fromits property in the various estates it isresponsible for across the borough.

While much of the graffiti can be putdown to common vandalism, some of it hasalso contained sinister threats againstnamed individuals and to express supportfor or opposition to various paramilitarygroups.

Local DUP MLA Alex Easton MLA hasexpressed his ‘shock’ at the mounting costof the graffiti, which emerged in responseto a question he put to Department ofSocial Development Minister, MervynStorey, at Stormont.

It was revealed that during the financialyear 2012 to 2013 the Executive spent£43,267.15 on graffiti removal around theborough and during the year 2013 to 2014this rose to £45,080.23.

Mr Easton said he was ‘deeply shocked’to discover that the Executive had spentover £88,000 on removing graffiti from itsproperties across North Down over the lasttwo financial years.

He added, “At a time when departmentsare struggling to find money with cutbacks,the last thing the Housing Executive needsto be doing is having to waste moneyremoving graffiti put there by sillyindividuals who are costing the ratepayersof North Down a lot of money.

“This is money that could be spent in abetter way, such as providing homes orindeed doing essential repairs toinfrastructure.

“Those responsible for graffiti need towise up and stop this as they are hurtingthe ratepayers of North Down.

“I believe the only way to reduceincidents of graffiti is to impose tougherfines and community service on thosecaught and make them remove theirhandiwork.”

Mr Easton’s Assembly question askedthe Minister for Social Development todetail the cost of removing graffiti fromHousing Executive properties in NorthDown in each of the last two financialyears.

The minister replied that the HousingExecutive had advised him that the cost ofremoving graffiti from their properties inNorth Down was as follows - 2012/13,£43,267.15 and 2013/14, £45,080.23.

In May intimidating loyalist graffiti wasdaubed on a gable wall in Bangor’sClanmorris estate just days after a man wasviolently assaulted by a masked gangwielding hammers in the Abbey Park area.

The terrifying threat included the words,‘Next time it’s a bullet,’ and was claimed tohave been made by a group called‘Loyalists Against Drugs’ whose name wasalso daubed alongside the grim warning.

The graffiti appeared after a man wasattacked by a gang of masked men as hewalked along a nearby road and had to betaken to hospital to be treated for hisinjuries.

AN EXPLOSION of graffiti across North

Down, including Holywood, has cost the

Housing Executive almost £90,000 in the

past two years alone, it has emerged this

week.The housing body has had to spend the

five figure sum on removing graffiti from

its property in the various estates it is

responsible for across the borough.

While much of the graffiti can be put

down to common vandalism, some of it has

also contained sinister threats against

named individuals and to express support

for or opposition to various paramilitary

groups.Local DUP MLA Alex Easton MLA has

expressed his ‘shock’ at the mounting cost

of the graffiti, which emerged in response

to a question he put to Department of

Social Development Minister, Mervyn

Storey, at Stormont.It was revealed that during the financial

year 2012 to 2013 the Executive spent

£43,267.15 on graffiti removal around the

borough and during the year 2013 to 2014

this rose to £45,080.23.Mr Easton said he was ‘deeply shocked’

to discover that the Executive had spent

over £88,000 on removing graffiti from its

properties across North Down over the last

two financial years.He added, “At a time when departments

are struggling to find money with cutbacks,

the last thing the Housing Executive needs

to be doing is having to waste money

removing graffiti put there by silly

individuals who are costing the ratepayers

of North Down a lot of money.

“This is money that could be spent in a

better way, such as providing homes or

indeed doing essential repairs to

infrastructure. “Those responsible for graffiti need to

wise up and stop this as they are hurting

the ratepayers of North Down. “I believe the only way to reduce

incidents of graffiti is to impose tougher

fines and community service on those

caught and make them remove their

handiwork.”Mr Easton’s Assembly question asked

the Minister for Social Development to

detail the cost of removing graffiti from

Housing Executive properties in North

Down in each of the last two financial

years.The minister replied that the Housing

Executive had advised him that the cost of

removing graffiti from their properties in

North Down was as follows - 2012/13,

£43,267.15 and 2013/14, £45,080.23.

In May intimidating loyalist graffiti was

daubed on a gable wall in Bangor’s

Clanmorris estate just days after a man was

violently assaulted by a masked gang

wielding hammers in the Abbey Park area.

The terrifying threat included the words,

‘Next time it’s a bullet,’ and was claimed to

have been made by a group called

‘Loyalists Against Drugs’ whose name was

also daubed alongside the grim warning.

The graffiti appeared after a man was

attacked by a gang of masked men as he

walked along a nearby road and had to be

taken to hospital to be treated for his

injuries.

For many parents, selecting

the right childcare for their

child is one of the biggest

decisions they’ll ever make.

NICMA – the Childminding

Association offer support

and advice, helping to match

parents with childminders

who have suitable vacancies.

The first step is to decide

what type of childcare

best suits your needs.

Childminding offers quality,

affordable, flexible childcare

in a ‘home from home’

setting. If you opt for a

childminder, make sure they

are registered with their

local Health and Social Care

Trust. All childminders must

complete and regularly

update training in Health &

Safety, Safeguarding Children

and Paediatric First. They

must also be insured, vetted,

and inspected.

NICMA provides a telephone

and website search facility to

help you to find a registered

childminder. It is worth

taking time to visit a number

of childminders and do

some research. To help with

this, NICMA’s “Choosing a

Childminder” booklet offers

a comprehensive guide to

what you can expect from

your childminder. You can be

assured that any childminder

who offers good quality care

will understand why you

want to ask questions.

For more information on finding and choosing a childminder, call NICMA on 028 9181 1015 or visit the NICMA website at www.nicma.org . Alternatively you can contact your local

Childminding Development Officer, Fiona Clendinning on 07837734825 [email protected]

HOLYWOOD EDITION #2/FEBRUARY 2015 FLEXIBLE CHILDCARE

Finding the right care...

www.cnicma.org

CHOOSING A CHILDMINDER

Arrange a visit when

some of the minded

children are there –

do the children seem

happy and at ease?

Ensure the

childminder has

adequate insurance

cover.

Check what food is

provided and whether

snacks are healthy.

Ask about the daily

routine, activities

provided, and any

outings or trips.

Once you’ve selected

your childminder,

ensure you sign a

contract with him or

her – it safeguards

you both.
