Jerry Singleton

In Carriglea or in Millstreet Town never more to be seen
But memories of him will remain evergreen
With his family and the many friends in life he made
Good memories live on when all else seem to fade

Jerry Singleton was well liked and well known far from his home countryside
As a breeder, owner and trainer of greyhounds he was known far and wide
His greyhounds with the Carriglea prefix renowned for early pace
At the big Munster tracks won many a feature race

Millstreet Museum & Tourist Information Centre Church Gate Collection This Weekend

Millstreet Museum & Tourist Information Centre Church Gate Collection takes place this weekend – 13th & 14th August 2011 – outside St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet.   This is our main source of funding for the year.    It is earnestly hoped that we shall be back at our Carnegie Hall location very shortly.   Most of our Archives have now been moved to the new purpose built Museum Archive Centre at Mount Leader.   We deeply appreciate the fact that the vast volume of our historic material was very kindly housed on a temporary basis and without cost by the Duggan Family of Green Glens for almost the past three years.     Support for our Collection this weekend would be greatly appreciated so as to assist us in the re-establishment of our Museum at Carnegie Hall and for the provision of a significant Tourist Information Centre.    Sincere thanks.  (S.R.)

Millstreet Methodist Update August

Hello again to everyone. Hopefully you are all enjoying the wonderful “Irish” summer!! Of course these days we are being reminded that the weather is not the only thing we can’t control. It seems that all the news these days is about huge monetary figures that are far beyond our imagination. These are uncertain days and we are certainly being reminded that we cannot rely on material possessions as a secure foundation for our lives. In these days I often think of the words from the Bible found in 1 Peter 1:3-4 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth in to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade – kept in heaven for you….” It’s wonderful to know that if our personal trust is in Jesus Christ then we can have certainty in this world and the next.
Our meetings in Millstreet continue this month on Sundays 14th and 28th August at 7.00 p. m. meeting, as always in the Canon O’Donovan Centre (kindly granted) on Clara Road in Millstreet town. [read more …] “Millstreet Methodist Update August”

Francis Connors looking to do well at Millstreet

From today’s Examiner:  Francis Connors has been competing at Millstreet Horse Show for “about 35 years”, and is determined to add to his good memories of the Cork event this week. The Waterford rider is a 10-time national champion and accepted as one of the best exponents of the sport.

That, though, does not guarantee success and, while he mostly remembers the good times, he admits his aspirations have not always been fulfilled at Millstreet, which begins its five-day stint today… [Read the full article]

Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this mild Tuesday morning.

five-day Summer Horse show kicks off here on to-morrow  Wednesday the 10th
at the mighty Green Glens Complex. Many new features have been added to the
show-jumping arenas, and the big news is that Noel C has won his long
battle with the Show-jumping Society of Ireland and as a result, they have
suspended the rules which banned members from attending non-affiliated
