The following is an announcement written by the  Ó Dochartaigh Clann Association:

The Ó Dochartaigh Clann Association is holding a gathering on Wednesday, July 23, at McGrory’s Hotel in Culdaff starting at 7:30 pm.

On the night, after a short introduction of our Executive Committee and Directors, we will share what the association has been doing since our last in-person meeting in Inishowen. It was held in July 2015, during the last Worldwide Clann Association gathering in Ireland.

Then the real fun will begin - the pub quiz, organised by the great quiz master Peter Doherty “Saddler,” to entertain and challenge us. Bring your friends and family and join in a friendly competition of trivia knowledge. Let’s show the visitors how it is done. Team sign-ups will happen at the door.

This non-profit organisation has been active in Inishowen and Derry since the early 1980s. Our mission is to “Gather the Clann.” Over the past couple of years, the Ó Dochartaigh Clann Association leadership has been holding monthly meetings on Zoom. A year ago, we began hosting Zoom classes on various subjects concerning clann history, Irish culture and Irish language, as well as clann genealogy.

The Association has held a couple of clann “Hangouts” on Zoom TOO and Ó Dochartaighs from all over the globe got to know one another. We will continue hosting these virtual gatherings - but now it's time to meet in person on July 23rd! For more information, email info@odochartaighassociation.org.
