Monday Club Update

Now mid-way through its sixth year the club has had a busy summer season which kicked off with an indoor bbq in Killeagh Hall in early June.

Next up was the 4 day trip to Donegal and Northern Ireland, based in Letterkenny. Arranged with O Connor Tours of Kilbrittain this was a highly successful trip for the fifty people who travelled.

The Daniel O Donnell concert at Cork Opera House saw a bus load of Killeagh folk enthralled by the way man from Dongeal in early July.

A day trip to Waterford was quickly booked up – morning tea/coffee in the Park Hotel in Dungarvan, train trip from Kilmeaden, visited Waterford Glass showrooms, spent a while at the new Rice Chapel at Mount Sion, did some shopping at Dovehill Shopping Centre before dinner at the Park Hotel followed by music in the bar!! Forty eight tired travellers leading homeward.

Youghal’s Bru na Si was the venue for a very enjoyable seisuin in late July – attended by approx 30 Monday Club members.

The Trip to Booley House on August 24^th was thoroughly enjoyed by the 40 patrons who travelled.

Planning is a foot for the Autumn – first meeting on September 5^th @ 10.30am – guests Fionnuala Mc Govern reflexologist and Michael Hackett author and story teller – new members always welcome.

Ambulance Service

Hi All,

You may have heard that the ambulance service is being withdrawn from Youghal in September.

This is an important, life saving, service, and should be kept in place. Withdrawing the Ambulance will put lives at risk.

There will be a public meeting in the Walter Raleigh Hotel next Wednesday 27th July at 8 PM to protest this.

There is a petition available to sign. You can sign at any of the shops in Killeagh village, or at a number of venues in Youghal.

There is a facebook page were you can go for more information

Please take part, and save the ambulance
