Regional Report – 21st November

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.

Starting off a new week, the sun shining brightly making the world looking around us looking good. Yet when you venture out the unexpected wind sends you buttoning up you coat and pulling down your woolie cap. Most of the trees and shrubs have shed their foliage by now. The leaves which adorned our gardens and country sides for months are now lying low where they will wilt and decay and turn into nourishing compost to feed their mother plant in the next season, to start the mysterious cycle of nature all ever again.

We have lots to celebrate this week Buíochas le Dia. Our gallant Senior Scor  Quiz team brought home the bacon on Saturday night when they won the All-Ireland Final of  at the INEC .They really did us proud.  See their pictures elsewhere on our website.

Well done also Linda Desmond daughter of our popular Lollypop lady Nuala and hubby Declan on her fantastic gold medal win at the recent National Elite Boxing Championships finals.

Wonderfully Enjoyable Gramophone Presentation by Tim Murphy

Last Friday night’s Millstreet Gramophone Circle Presentation (17th Nov. 2023) by Tim Murphy, Boherbue was most enjoyable and very much appreciated by the large audience who loved the variety and range of musical choices presented.   One of my favourites was Tim’s playing of a recording by the Duhallow Choir entitled “The Beautiful Hills of Duhallow”.   Our special Christmas Presentation on Friday, 8th December 2023 at 8.15pm is by Pat McCarron of Bandon.   Here we share a selection of images from last Friday’s splendid occasion.   Tap on the pictures to enlarge.  (S.R.)

It was Eithne O’Keeffe of Boherbue who superbly expressed the official thanks of those attending for Tim’s marvellous presentation.
Tim Murphy (on right) was very pleased with the positive reaction…..especially with our monthly venue at the Canon O’Donovan Millstreet Day Centre which we all regard as ideal for the Musical Presentations. We epecially thank Marie and Jacob at the Centre for helping to prepare the venue.
Our range of prizes for our Draw which helps to cover our costs.
