Remembering Billy Coleman being Crowned British Rally Champion 50 years ago back in 1974

It’s hard to think that Millstreet Rally Legend Billy Coleman was crowned British Rally Champion back in 1974,it is therefore fitting to just remind ourselves 50 years later of what a great achievement that was in what was a Premier Rally Championship in Europe at the time.

Billy was Irelands Top Rally Driver back in the 70`s and 80`s and amongst his best achievements was as already mentioned winning The British Rally Championship in 1974 in his Ford Escort Mark 1.

Billy also scored victory on The Circuit of Ireland 3 times in 1975,1976,and 1984 as well as finishing 4th overall in the 1985 World Championship Rally Tour De Corse which was one of the toughest challenges back in the day.

Billy was also crowned Irish Tarmac Champion in 1984 and finished 3rd in The European Rally Championship in 1979 and has won many Irish Rallies over the years including the likes Cork 20,Donegal and Killarney Rally of the Lakes Events.

Billy is still up there as one of the greats and from that great achievement back in 1974 50 years later we salute one of the finest Irish Drivers to grace the Rally Stages both here at Home and Worldwide.

Charity Play a runaway success – Thank you Note

We are absolutely delighted to announce that The Glen Theatre Drama Group’s production of John B. Keane’s play, “The Rain at the End of the Summer”, held at the Glen Theatre last Sunday night (11th) was a resounding success.

 

Thanks to the incredible generosity of The Glen Theatre Drama Group, all proceeds from tickets sales were donated to Rathcoole NS Parents of Children with Additional Needs Support Group.  Director Tadgh O’Keeffe kindly presented Colette O’Keeffe & Maria Buckley with a cheque for €1000.00.

These funds will be dedicated to purchasing essential equipment and resources for all pupils, but in particular the neurodivergent children with additional needs attending Rathcoole National School.

Thank you to everyone who attended the night or donated.  Your kindness makes a huge contribution to the lives of these pupils.

 The Glen Theatre Drama Group are bringing this magnificent play to The Everyman Theatre on Thursday 15th August and The Civic Theatre, Dublin on Friday 23rd & Saturday 24th August.

Philip Lenihan commands the stage as patriarch Joss O’Brien whose moral attitude conflicts with his ambitious son, Jamesy, played by Tadhg Curtin, while daughter and soon to be nun Eillie, played by Sinead Guiney tries to keep the peace.  With our own extremely talented vice principal Maureen O’Brien as feisty housekeeper Kate and past pupils Olivia Lehane and Diarmuid Cronin as the newly engaged couple, Penny & Toddy, and Anna Lehane as stagehand, this show is a must see!

Drama at the Glen Theatre in Aid of Rathcoole NS Parents of Additional Needs Support Group

A Special Night of Drama at The Glen Theatre

in Aid of

Rathcoole NS Parents of Additional Needs Support Group

 

The Glen Theatre Drama Group and its wonderful cast of “The Rain at the End of the Summer” by John B. Keane, are threading the boards for one night only on Sunday, August 11th at 8pm at the Glen Theatre, Banteer, before taking to the stage at The Everyman Theatre later in the month.

Directed by Tadgh O’Keeffe, the play is set during an exceptionally hot Irish summer in 1967.  It deals with an unplanned pregnancy that brings disorder to the otherwise amicable O’Brien household.  The various characters are torn apart by their beliefs in the best way to deal with the pregnancy.  Controversial in its day with its exploration of the class system, sexual liberation, and the sanctity of family and marriage, its power hasn’t been diminished by time.

All tickets sales and proceeds for this once off show are kindly being donated to Rathcoole National School to help aid the purchase of essential resources/equipment to enhance the learning experiences of our neurodivergent pupils/pupils with additional needs within the school.  This special night in The Glen Theatre is being run by Rathcoole National School Parents of Children with Additional Needs Support Group.

The support group was formed in 2023 by parents Colette O’Keeffe & Maria Buckley and together they hold a monthly coffee morning in the local Dromtariffe GAA clubroom where parents/carers of children with additional needs attending St. Brendan’s National School are welcome to call in, have a coffee and a chat.

Please support this wonderful evening.  Tickets are €15 and available at the door on the night.  Tickets can be booked in advance by contacting The Glen Theatre on 029 56239.

Aubane Christmas Day Morning Climb at 10.30 am on Monday 25 December – all proceeds from the Climb are in Aid of the Freeland Projects in Capetown. Local woman Maureen Buckley will travel to Capetown in March 2024. This is Maureen’s second visit and the money donated will go a long way in the building of a rescue centre. She saw first hand the poverty and lack of resources and provisions when Maureen was there in 2022. The team included plumbers, carpenters, painters and many more. They filled their suitcases with all the necessary equipment to carry out the work and left everything there when they returned home. We have so much and they have so little so everything is a huge help. Please Support this very worthy charity.
