Reading festival comes to Moyross


Starting on the 19th April 2010 Moyross will be at centre of the biggest book club in the world club when it is hoped that everybody from Moyross and St. Munchin’s will come together to read Roald Dahl’s book “The Twits”. “Try the Twits- A Northside Story”. The project will encourage everyone from 4 to 94 years across the Northside to one book over 4 weeks.


“We are hoping that parents, grandparents and children will all join in and read the book together. We picked the book because it appeals to all ages” said Hilary Pratt, home school liaison teacher, St. Munchin’s Girls School and one of the organisers of the event.


‘The Twits’ will be distributed to each household in the community including Moyross, Ballynanty, Kileely and Thomondgate. It is estimated that there will be approx 1,500 books in circulation.
