Subject: RE: Battle of Clontarf-round two/Comhaltas Interruptus
CLONTARF is the "brand" name by which our club is recognised.
Only some of the members of the club actually live in Clontarf. However, everyone lives close by in the surrounding parishes.

(I'm not aware that anyone in the newly formed CCE Cluain Tarbh actually lives in Clontarf).

We are now "Ceoltóirí Chluain Tarbh" (Clontarf musicians).
This is our new ID. The silly issue over not being "allowed" use our own name will only arise when it comes to competition season again next Spring.

Unfortunately the newly formed branch are called by the name we've been recognised by for 40 years, Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Éireann Cluain Tarbh. They will obviously benefit from mistaken identity, as their adverts and the Comhaltas website will refer all enquiries for music lessons in our area to the newly formed branch, without any explanations. It FEELS LIKE identity theft.

Ceoltóirí Chluain Tarbh, (the Reel Clontarf) have registration for the new term tomorrow (Saturday 6th September) between 9 and 11.30 in Marino VEC, Fairview as always.
