Passing on Skills
A Basic Navigation Skills workshop was provided by RDF personnel
from C Coy, 28 Inf Bn to the Donegal County Museum recently by Lts'
John McCandless, Kevin McGranaghan, Patrick McDevitt and Shaun
McLaughlin. The workshop had full attendance, ranging from the Cubs/
Scouts from Lifford to people who travelled from Killybegs, Raphoe and
Gortahork with ages from 9 to 70. Everyone found it helpful, enjoyable
and very informative. Donegal County Museum wishes to express our
sincere thanks for allowing the RDF personnel to provide the workshop.
