Tidy Towns Christmas Events
Timoleague Tidy Towns will hold their annual celebratory party on Sunday next, December 7th. at the Community Hall. The official switch on of the Christmas Lights will be at 6pm at the village centre. A local dedicated community group are presently engaged in the erection of the lights in the village streets in readiness for Sunday night. There will be a carol recital prior to the switch on. This year Aoife Harte and Niamh Doyle will do the honours of switching on the lights. Both girls were star members of the Cork All-Ireland under 14 team that won the ladies football championship. They will be accompanied by victorious coach Mary Harrington at the ceremony. Rumours are rife that Santa will make a pit stop at the village also on the night, so you know where to be on Sunday evening next.
