They also made several trips to Dublin in order to be recorded for Irish television and radio. The children organised fundraising activities such as chopping firewood or making and selling toffee in order to cover their expenses. By the 1950s the membership of the only functioning part of Aeglagh Vannin had matured to be entirely made up of adults. In an attempt to revitalise activities amongst the original target youth audience, a new section was created in 1957 under the name, Aeglagh Beg ('little youth'). By 1959 this section had grown in strength sufficiently for the adult section to step aside to change their name to Caarjyn Vannin ('friends of Man') and enable the youth section to reclaim the original name of Aeglagh Vannin. Mona Douglas's involvement in the organisation ceased in 1976 when she was 78. The organisation petered out some time after this. Aeglagh Vannin is best remembered today for its central place in the revitalisation of Manx dance, as well as for its important role in the early stage of the modern period of the Manx cultural revival. This confirms the belief of its founder, Mona Douglas, who in 1949 called it "the cradle of our Manx folk dance revival."
