TIDY TOWNS

There was good progress made this week with the painting and planting. A chunk of the collection money was prudently spent on plants and flowers for the troughs, rockery and small beds near the herb trolley. We can look forward to a colourful display over the coming weeks. The entry form for the competition was sent off recently, thanks to the efficiency of our secretary. "Action Hours" continue at the same weekly times and everyone is welcome to join in.

COMHALTAS

In excess of a hundred members of the local Comhaltas craobh participated in Fleadh Cheoil Luimnigh in Kilfinane on last weekend and many supporters also travelled and enjoyed the excellent entertainment available in the fifteen competition venues as well as in the open air. Full marks to the hosting craobh, CCÉ Ballyhoura, which spared no effort in ensuring all arrangements were in place and that there was a céad míle fáilte for all the visitors.

Our craobh members did very well in the various events and many are now looking forward to Fleadh Cheoil na Mumhan in Cork City in July. Details of the craobh prize winners will be included in next week’s notes. Míle buíochas to all who helped in any way in the preparations of the craobh competitors for the Fleadh.
