FIELD DAY
While we don’t have a final tally on the field day, it will in around the €5,000 mark. It is up on last year’s total and is a mark of the hard work and dedication of so many people.
A sincere thanks to the parish council for coordinating the work. To all who manned stalls, sold tickets, played the pipes and drums, contributed prizes and donations a sincere thanks. To all who turned up on the day and supported all this effort and generosity, thanks also. It was a terrific day, terrific weather and terrific community spirit.
The whole event was capped off by the arrival onto the field of Kevin Moran fresh from his win at the Special Olympics in Dublin. A perfect end to a perfect day. Onwards and upwards to next year.

THURSDAY WALKS
Yet another fabulous evening greeted the 23 walkers who turned up in Glendalough last week to do the Spinc Loop. While the climb to the Spinc itself was tough, the prize in the form of the spectacular views was worth it for all, including some who were on The Spinc for the first time ever in their 75 years. Well done Teresa Healy.
A word for one of our regular walkers, Mary Mackey, who broke a bone in her foot and much to her disgust will miss the rest of the season.
A word also for Irene Langrell who retired on Friday last and looks forward to much more walking, among other things. Good luck to Irene.
This week takes us to Croghanmoira where the aforementioned Irene has agreed to be the weeks guest leader. Meet as usual in Parnell Memorial Park Rathrum for 7 p.m., and Glenmalure Lodge at 7.20 before travelling to the walk start.
