Congratulations to everyone for the success of the 2008 arrangement!

The parade in 2008 was a great success, thanks to the participation of so many, both locals and visitors.

The committee would like to thank all those who gave their active support to the organisation of the St Patrick’s Day arrangement: flag-bearers, musicians, dancers and of course our leprechauns. And many thanks to our sponsors for their support.

And thanks of course to all those who marched and provided a colourful spectacle and a fitting celebration of both St Patrick  and our Irishness. We thank also those “Friends of Ireland” for joining us and for being Irish for the day.

Work is in progress for the planning of the 2009 St Patrick’s Day arrangement. It is our ambition that celebration of St Patrick’s Day should not be a “static” event and while we will maintain some “traditional” elements we are open to suggestions for improvement.

Since Irish culture is evolving we welcome any new and colourful expressions of it, and since we are expatriates we are also interested in expressions of Irish culture in Norway. Please contact the Committee if you have any suggestions or if you would like to help us with the organisation of the event.
