Happy St Patrick's Day!
St Patrick's Day has always been a chance for our community to come together and celebrate. If you didn't know, Windgap is also the name of a town in Ireland. The original Windgap property was the first “Windgap” school and was named after the previous owners’ hometown... and so the title of our organisation 70 years later remains.
