Wonderfully Impressive Cheque Presentation to the Alzheimer Society of Ireland at Mallow Centre

On Friday, 29th Nov. 2024 members of the Blackwater Valley Vintage Group presented a wonderfully impressive cheque of €4,521.60 to Nurse Manager, Lena O’Sullivan of the Mallow Centre of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland.   This was the result of a superbly successful Vintage Tractor and Car Run earlier this year beginning at Aubane Community Centre and concluding at The Pub in Carriganima.  The Coordinator Supreme of the memorable event in aid of such a praiseworthy cause was Luke Hurley enthusiastically supported by a very dedicated Team.   Here we share a selection of images from this afternoon’s greatly appreciated cheque presentation at the Mallow Centre in the presence of All.  Tap on the pictures to enlarge.  (S.R.)

Splendid Comedy by Glen Theatre Drama Group on 23rd & 24th Nov. as well as 1st & 8th Dec. 2024

Are you all looking for a laugh this winter? We certainly hope so.
The Glen Theatre Drama Group has a comedy for you beginning Saturday November 23rd and running Nov 24th, Dec 1st, and Dec 8th.
Written by Ballydesmond writer, the late Seán Buckley, ‘Roger’s Final Farewell’ follows the Johnson household with matriarch Aggie and her two daughters; Hazel and Purdly. They are mourning the recent death of household patriarch Roger. However, his drinking and gambling debts are revealed, throwing the home into disarray. A collection of strange characters in and out of the house, including a confused Irish War of Independence veteran Grandfather, with a ‘strong patriotic devotion to Ireland’, only adds to the hilarious chaos.
