A trip down memory lane

Pat Bracken is guest speaker with Ballina/Killaloe Dementia Café

Nenagh and Ballina/Killaloe Dementia Café are delighted to have Pat Bracken of Tipperary County Libraries as Guest Speaker for the April café, which will again be held online this Thursday, April 21, at 7pm.

Take a trip down memory lane and join Pat as he discusses his large collection of digital images from early 1900s to the present day, depicting various aspects of sporting, social and cultural life in Tipperary.

Pat has collected and curated this huge range of not just digital copies but also several hundred copies of photographs, match programmes and other memorabilia from various parts of Munster, with many from Tipperary. It is a great way to revisit old memories and trace the places, shops, events and people in this digital collection.

Pat will be showing some of the digital library content as part of this talk, and will also demonstrate where this can be accessed, both physically and online.

To register for this free event on Thursday, please email ballinakillaloe.dementiacafe@gmail.com.

A dementia café is a welcoming, once-monthly meeting for anyone who is affected by dementia. People living with dementia, their families and friends, healthcare professionals, and people who are interested in supporting a dementia inclusive community are all welcome to attend. Dementia cafés are run by local voluntary steering committees and are always free of charge.

This event will be hosted online via Zoom by Silver Arch Family Resource Centre in Nenagh, with the support of Age Friendly Tipperary, the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and the Irish Dementia Café Network.
