Show your support for the Lough and give it a share

Come and join us at Washingbay or Ballyronan, or support any of the other shorelines that will be filled with song on Sunday 19th April.

We will be raising our voices in song, calling for urgent action for the restoration of Lough Neagh.

It is a real joy to be singing on the same day on different shores around the lough with Lisburn Harmony and Antrim Community Choir

Change the world in song and sing for justice.

Together we are stronger šŸŽ¶

Unfortunately we have to cancel the upcoming boat rally fundraiser due to the event clashing with multiple other events happening the same day . This was to be a fundraising event to support Swlnria but if there is multiple other events happening the same day we’re just not going to get the support due to other events . The long range forecast isn’t looking too promising either. However I do plan to organise a charity football match for September so keep an eye on the page for updates.

Big ring round the moon tonight . The old people used to say it was a sign of bad weather.
Anyone got any old sayings regarding the weather . Swans leaving the rivers heading to the Lough was a sign of good weather coming. Anyone any more ?

After a full evening’s searching we managed to locate Coney Island. It’s been well shook and there is little left apart from a few roots and foundations of the house .but on a positive note the island has been blown into the washingbay brocagh area near Kearneys flat . That means it’s now in mid ulster 😬 . I did say onwards and upwards for 2025

Happy new year everyone. First post and a positive one . This wee group has kicked off the year at the Derryloughan side of the footbridge .This area wasn’t accessible via boat fisherman or kayak but the good volunteers left it very clean and tidy for everyone to use . Would love to see a nice jetty here but fingers crossed the council comes good . Onwards and upwards for 2025

Delighted to see this wee group in action working alongside other groups of volunteers. I have taken a back seat regarding volunteering due to work and family commitments tho I will help out when I can . The money that was raised from this years boat rally has been handed over to this group to buy the bits and pieces they need and continue work in this area . There was 1500Ā£ raised and to date there has been a couple of hundred spent on wheelbarrows bolts and timber for fixing the jetties. The remaining Ā£ will be used for a good used mower and marker posts in maghery bay . In the meantime I’m going to continue trying to get the river mouth dredged to leave it safe and navigable for rescue services , fishermen and recreational boaters .
