KENRY HISTORY SOCIETY: Your local history society is hosting a lecture on the Palatines in Limerick. This will be delivered by a descendant of the original group of German-speaking immigrants who came to Co. Limerick in 1709 during the time of Queen Ann of England. The unsettled political atmosphere at the time allied to poor harvests of their vineyards, acted as further inducements to leave their homelands on the Rhine. The lecturer Lorna Shier has made a study of her Palatine ancestry as part of her Masters Degree in History of Family at UL, and is therefore doubly qualified to speak with authority on the subject. The venue for this event is in the Community Hall in Kilcornan as the policy of the history society is to deliver its lectures in the various parts of Kenry, just as they conduct their historical tours around the Barony. The date and time is on Wednesday October 17 at 8.00 pm. As usual members and their friends are welcome and a small contribution is suggested to cover the cost of the event.
TRAINING FOR ‘THE GATHERING’: West Limerick Resources will be rolling out a special local heritage training initiative entitled “My People, My Place, My Heritage” this autumn and is now registering participants. This training is designed to support local communities that are interested in getting involved in Ireland Reaching Out and/or the Gathering 2013. Ireland Reaching Out is a national initiative which encourages communities to invite its diaspora to renew links with the local community, including paying a return visit. This training initiative will cover topics including local built heritage, natural heritage and biodiversity and genealogy and will give communities the skills to develop local involvement and initiatives. Training is free of charge and will take place in Newcastle West starting Monday October 8, at 7.30pm. The course will run for seven weeks and participants are expected to complete the full course. Limited places available. To register contact Suzanne on 069 79114 or email srowley@wlr.ie

DRAMA IN MUNGRET: The Blackwalk Players Drama Group are staging “A Wake in the West” in Mungret GAA community hall on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 12, 13 and 14 of October 2012. Written by M.J.Ginnelly the sombre mood of the “wake” is turned on its head by the arrival of 80 year old Rose, who takes a shine to a beautiful set of dentures. The dentures, however, prove problematic, for a variety of reasons and what unfolds is a series of hilarious events that are guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face and a tear, hopefully of laughter, in your eye. A hilarious play which has sold out venues in Ennis, Belfast and Gort. Proceeds from Friday 12 will be going towards the Niall Mellon Trust Fund. Hope to see you there.
