16th July 2025
Ballina, Co. Mayo

Some of our amazing members and friends had an unforgettable time at Ballina Heritage Day this July — a highlight of the Ballina Salmon Festival in beautiful County Mayo 🇮🇪.

There was plenty of action, with live demos and hands-on fun, including:

🛠️ Blacksmithing 🏖️ Sand Casting 🔥 Iron Smelting 🪙 Repoussé in Copper

The day was packed with craft, creativity, and loads of craic – just the way we like it! ☘️

💚 Huge thanks to the talented crew who were there: Damian McNeely, Eoin McBride, Jamie Triscele Smith, Eva Ní Loinsigh, Brian Inks, PJ Cremin, Ragnar Cherrie, and the Irish Bloomery Iron team!

This was also the first official outing for the Junior Members as the Junior Strike Squad.
