Tidy Towns

Clarina Tidy Towns: We will be conducting a clean up around the village next Tuesday evening from 7.30 to 8pm meeting as always outside Croc’s Hairdressers. We are preparing for judging which begins in early June. Unfortunately due to our small numbers we are not as prepared as we should be. We really need some extra volunteers for the next few weeks. If you are free for those 90 minutes please come out and help us improve our village.

COBH OUTING

COBH OUTING: Thomond Archaeological & Historical Society will have a full day outing to Cobh and Spike Island on Sunday June 28 leaving Limerick city at 8.00am.  This should prove to be a most memorable visit which will give us an opportunity to view one of the world’s largest cruise liner ‘The Royal Princess’ which is 19 decks high and will be berthed in Cobh that day and will depart at 6pm.  The visit will include Cobh’s famous Cathedral St. Colman’s, the Titanic Memorial, Lusitania Victims burial plot, Jack Doyle the Gorgeous Gael’s grave.  We will also visit Spike Island with a viewing of the home of ‘Little Nellie of Holy God’.  The trip includes guided tours throughout.  As seats are limited early booking is advisable.  Contact Pat O’Donovan PRO 087 9977340.
