Eily Buckley

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to News Report 1191 from Millstreet.
Fondest Greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this the last Tuesday in October.
I hope you are all well following the massive change in weather conditions over the weekend coupled with the change in time.

The 37th  Annual Pony Show was for three days,over the weekend . With people from all parts of the country coming to take part. Dedicated parents giving their young people every opportunity to succeed in the Equine world.
In weather that changed from tranquil Autumn calmness to freezing wind and rain. As ever the cosy indoor Arena proved it’s worth and competitions went on early and late. This Show is held every year for charity, lots of money was raised  and the list of recipients is on the website as well as the list of all the winning ponies.

Next  weekend November 8 to 10 we will have the great Self-Build Show again all under one roof at the Green Glens.
As always a show not to be missed.

Missing Golden Labrador….Family Pet Found Having Enjoyed the Pony Show!

Golden Labrador missing this morning.

Last seen outside Centra, West End around 8am this Sunday morning.

Any sightings please call 087 9379269.

Thanks

The Owner of the Golden Labrador wishes to express sincere thanks to All who very kindly helped to find the missing family pet.   It happens that the dog met a number of people from the Pony Show this morning who were shopping at Centra.   He/she decided to follow them to the Show at Green Glens.   He/she found the jumps most interesting and was noted by the many spectators who were quite charmed by the dog.   Luckily, Emma Hickey who was working in the Show Office saw our above alert on the website and immediately made contact with the Owner.   Well done, Emma.   Great that the story has a happy ending…The Lost/Found Prayer also said may have helped as well!  (S.R.)
