The Irish are supposed to have a knack for telling tall tales so, if storytelling is either your interest or your forte, the place to be over the weekend of October 25th27th is Cape Clear Island. A weekend workshop on storytelling will provide 15 hours of instruction - and evenings will be spent around the fireside telling stories.

The workshop is open to all and energetic students can join organiser Chuck Kruger on a walk about the island to look at major historical sites. Space is limited so if you're interested contact Kruger straight away - phone (028) 39157 or email ckstory@indigo.ie
