The Dursey Island Festival of 2023 a story of Arm Wrestling, Singing and Drink…. Ann Finch did a great job organising again a festival on Dursey Island. A good turn out of people came and enjoyed an early mass, after which there was a bbq with plenty of food and drink. There could have been a few more people there, however a technical issue meant the cable car was out of action for a good part of the afternoon, fortunately Denis came over on his boat to pick a few people up. Christian organised an arm wrestling tournament which was very interesting, especially when the women started their competition. Which was won by Julia Jeisy Mcnally from Garnish.

After the arm wrestling more food and drink with some excellent singing and music playing outside until the late hours. A few folk gathered in one of the houses to continue on into the early hours, we will be back.
Thanks to all involved in making it such a great occasion.
