Newtownards Dancing Festival

St.Patrick's Irish Dancing Club are deeply saddened by the passing of Mrs Pat Armstrong

Pat was a great supporter of Irish Dancing for many many years; from making dresses, alterations & supporting the festivals, especially our own Newtownards Dancing Festival.

She will be dearly missed by everyone that knew her but especially her beloved family; her daughter and our teacher, Angela, her son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Nainsi, her husband Sean, and her grandchildren Mary-Kate, Ciara and Olivia.

We keep them all in our thoughts and prayers, may she rest in peace 🤍

This is what Irish dancing is all about! The friendship, comaraderie, support and fun the U12's showed last night was AMAZING!
