Mayo Older Persons Council Information Day and AGM

What to Expect

The Mayo Older Persons Council holds its Annual General Meeting alongside an information day at the TF Royal Hotel in Castlebar, bringing together older residents from across the county for a morning of updates, guest input and general discussion on issues affecting older people in Mayo. The council describes the day as promising to be both informative and enjoyable, and it functions as one of the main annual opportunities for members and interested older people countywide to hear directly from the council and have their say on its priorities for the year ahead.

The council acts as a representative voice for older people across Mayo, feeding into local and national policy discussions on ageing, so the information day is also a chance for attendees to raise issues affecting their own communities directly with the people who bring those concerns forward. Past information days of this kind have typically combined the formal AGM business with guest speakers and stalls from services relevant to older residents, though the exact running order for this year was not detailed in the announcement.

Good to Know

Doors open for registration from 9:30am on Monday 7 September 2026, with the day itself running from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the TF Royal Hotel, Castlebar. The event is open to older residents from throughout County Mayo, and while a cost was not stated in the announcement, attendees should check with the Mayo Older Persons Council in advance to confirm whether there is a charge or whether lunch is included. The AGM element means the day will include formal council business as well as the information sessions, so it suits anyone interested in getting involved with the council’s work as well as those simply attending for the talks and company.

Getting There

The TF Royal Hotel is on the Castlebar to Westport road on the edge of Castlebar town, with its own car park, making it straightforward to reach by car from anywhere in the county. As Mayo’s largest town, Castlebar is also served by regular bus and rail routes, giving attendees without a car a practical way to get there.
