This weekend, our Young Men's and Young Women's groups attended a residential in Todd's Leap, Dungannon! We started off the resi with some group work around EVAWAG and had some good discussions, on day two we took part in some teambuilding activities, archery and blindfold driving (risky enough 😳) we had a great time and lovely weather to match! Many thanks to for facilitating this residential and to for hosting us, we had a blast!! 😊
