The old tradition of gathering at Altadaven near Augher and close to the County Monaghan border on ‘Blaeberry Sunday’ at the end of July was marked by the William Carleton Society in 2023. The event was attended by the Chair of Mid Ulster Council Cllr Dominic Molloy. The Society Chair Michael Fisher brought him to see St Patrick’s Chair and Well. Afterwards the Society announced an exciting project to start cataloguing and digitising its records of more than 25 years of summer schools with the assistance of a small grant from the Council. The McKenna family from Clogher provided traditional music to entertain the visitors.
