REPRINT OF BOOK
In 2008 our book ‘Oylegate-Glenbrien, A Look Back in Time’ was published and it sold out in three weeks. Since then, many people have asked about getting a copy. The Oylegate-Glenbrien Journal Committee is now considering ordering a reprint, possibly in soft cover.
At present we would like to gauge the level of interest in purchasing the book. If you would like to buy a copy please contact email oylegateparishnews@yahoo.com/Call or Text: Tom Miller at 086 8677334 giving your contact details. The Journal Committee will then get back to you in due course. The book, in soft back, will cost approx. €20 per copy, and a non-refundable deposit of €10 would be needed to place an order, if we go ahead with the venture.
‘Oylegate-Glenbrien, A Look Back in Time’ is an invaluable historical record for those of us who live in Oylegate-Glenbrien and it would make a wonderful gift for family and friends who no longer live locally and may even be abroad. The closing date for ordering your copy will be January 15, 2017.
