Some upcoming events

We have taken delivery of a De-fibrillator, and hope to launch our First Responders group in November. The probable date is Nov 16th in Killeagh Hall. come along if you're interested! Would you like to train in how to use this life-saving piece of equipment?

The playground is getting closer. At the moment we are waiting for final approval from South and East Cork Area Development (SECAD). Once this comes through we can get contractors on site to begin work. FINGERS CROSSED!

Finished Wall

We finally got there!

With a huge effort from some volunteers, we have a repaired wall (with stone facing) in the old graveyard in Killeagh Village.

It looks great, and there are a load of people to thank from those who helped clean up, to those gave their time to those who donated materials (especially the stone!)

In the end we got a prize of €100 for the 'Pride in our Communities' competition, but that was more than spent on materials such as cement, etc.

Below are two pictures of the almost completed wall (it was waiting for a cap to be put on when I took the photos)

St. Fergal's Primary School

The parent's association of St. Fergal's primary school are currently trying to raise €20,000 for work in the school.

On the 9th October they will hold a sale of work in the Community Hall in Killeagh - so please feel free to contribute something for the sale, or come along to support the school.

Graveyard update

We have had great progress on the graveyard wall. Two volunteers have worked in their free time for September and have nearly completed the stone facing of the wall. I'll get photos up soon of the wall and the lads, but a very big thank-you to both of them!

Begging letter!

Hi All,

As you can see from the pictures below, we've done very well in the old Graveyard in Killeagh. Unfortunately, we've hit a snag - we don't have enough stone to finish the job of facing off the wall in stone.

The stone we need it limestone, if you have any to spare, or know someone who might, please let us know so that we can get the graveyard looking even better!

Many thanks - and thanks to all the volunteers who gave up their evenings this summer!

Family Day in Glenbower

We have a great way to celebrate the August Bank Holiday weekend. There will be a family fun day in Glenbower wood on Monday 2nd August.

Music and lots of other things planned for the day, but watch here for more information soon!

Volunteers Wanted!

The Pride In Our Communities competition has begun.

For our part in this we have started work on cleaning up the old graveyard in Killeagh.

Work will take place every Tuesday night at 8 PM for the next number of weeks.

We are hoping to re-build the fallen sections of wall between the two old cemeteries; to clean all the footpaths; to place a seat inside the front gate; to repaint the gates; to remove weeds and overgrowth.

So, if you would like to play a part in improving the cemetery, come along next Tuesday!

Especially if you have a strimmer, hedge trimmer, hoe, paint-brush, brush, or can lay a few blocks.

Looking forward to seeing you!
