Community notes Nov 8th

Local History

Timoleague Educational Garden is the setting for a wonderful array of local events and groups over the last couple of years. Recently, some locals with an interest in local history gathered and realised that there is a huge appetite for the social history, folklore, commercial history etc of the area. With that in mind, an open invitation is extended to anyone interested in forming a historical society for the area to meet on Monday November 10th at 7:30pm in the Educational Garden (Eircode is P72DX23).

Marathon Athlete

Christy Crowley of Cregane ran a personal best of 3 hours and 8 minutes in the recent Dublin City Marathon. He raised over €13,660 on behalf of The Irish Cancer Society, a cause close to his heart. Christopher wishes to thank all those who donated money to this very worthy cause. Now that he has overcome “the wall”, the sky is the limit for the young Timoleague farmer.
