Risteard Mulcahy in his book “ Memoirs of a Medical Maverick’ states “ There is compelling evidence from internationa
l research that using the brain and exercising the memory regularly is effective in preserving cognitive function.” “Mental activity is encouraged by reading, becoming a radio buff, solving problems such as the crossword and sudoku, continuing hobbies and by keeping in contact with family and surviving friends.”
We in the RTA Galway have taken this honest to goodness advice to heart. We are determined not to wilt with age. Sixteen members have completed a series of computer classes with the ever patient Brendan Smith while 20 members are challenging th
eir memory by taking a series of classes in the first steps of Bridge under the guidance of their tutor Carmel Murphy and her assistants, Mary Howley and Mary S
mith.
A special thank you to Bernard Kirk, director of the Education Centre and his courteous staff for the refreshments provided and their contin
ued support for our various activities.
