KENRY HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
The first outing of the above group will take place to Askeaton on Bank Holiday Monday, May 4. Members and friends will assemble outside the Tourist Office in the East Square at 3.00pm, where we will meet the very able tour guide Tony Sheehy who will conduct the walk and talk. If you haven’t been on this tour before be prepared for a historical feast and if you have been on the tour before, you are sure to learn something new about this unique town. Tony will talk about the Castle’s rich history and the adjacent Hellfire Club as well as taking us to the Abbey or Friary where you will see the unique cloisters and a statue of St. Francis with the stigmata/signs of Christ’s wounds. He will tell the interesting story of the Pilgrim who is buried there and if time permits we will also visit the burial place of the Curraghchase poet Aubrey De Vere in the Church of Ireland grounds. An event not to be missed!
HERITAGE WEEK
Following the success of Kildimo’s previous involvement in the annual week, this year the ‘Kenry Historical Society’ will be including items in the 2009 calendar of events. The dates fixed for the nationwide showcase of Ireland’s rich heritage is from August 22-30. Thus far there are plans afoot for a historical walk in the Ringmoylan area. All aspects of our heritage are highlighted during this special week, so if you know of any interest that might be made public, we’d like to hear your ideas. A nationwide Booklet of events is published every year to publicise Ireland’s involvement in this European event. Perhaps you have something to share with others? Have you a specialist skill you might demonstrate, such as dry stone walling, hedge layering, vegetable production- the possibilities are endless!
KILDIMO NS PARENTS ASSOCIATION
Following their very successful ‘Easter Egg Draw’, the Association wishes to record their thanks to all those who promoted the event, especially Slattery’s, De Bucket, The Seven Sisters, Liz Hickey and Association members.

COMMUNITY LOTTO
Numbers 7, 13, 18 & 23 were drawn for a Jackpot of 4.300 on April 21. Because this combination was not predicted, ‘Lucky Dips’ of €50, €30 and €20 were drawn respectively by Bernie Nolan, John Meade and Anthony O’Neill. The funds raised by the Lotto are ploughed back into the community and your support is welcome. A €2 investment could dispel the recessionary blues!
