Open Morning this Friday 25 October at the E Centre Millstreet (10:00 – 12:00)

 Cork Educational and Training Board promotes and co-ordinates community education programmes , the programmes are based locally and are tailored to meet people’s needs. Adult and Community Education encourages dialogue and values life experience. What is perhaps most important is that the education system now allows for life-long learning and this can include accreditation or non-accreditation. 

 

The taster programmes involve a blend of the practical and the creative. These programmes are suited to those who wish to return to training ,those who want to access further education or employment. Tasters provide a way of testing the waters as it were. The Open Morning will be held this Friday 25 October at the E Centre Millstreet (10:00 – 12:00).  This is an opportunity to discuss various options.

 

The taster course is 4weeks long; 3 sessions per week 9.30 -12.30 and will be held in the E centre, Millstreet, these courses might include: Communications, CV and Interview Techniques; Sewing /Alterations; Creative Writing; Music Appreciation; Drama; IT.

 

Everyone Welcome.    We thank Veronica for this important notice.  (S.R.)

1893 Ceremonial Trowel

1893 Ceremonial Trowel from the start of work on Millstreet Boys School - from Cannon Griffin to Miss Madeline McCarthy O'LearyA fascinating item from Millstreet’s history has appeared on eBay this week, courtesy of a high quality antique dealer in England – Pushkin Antiques. It’s a ceremonial trowel presented to Miss Madeline McCarthy O’Leary by Cannon Griffin, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone at the Male School in 1893.

The school in question was located across from the Catholic Presbtry on the Clara Road.

The trowel is 925 standard silver purity. Due to it’s historic value and being made from silver, it’s retailing at £1,955 so it is way outside of the budget of Millstreet Museum.

DOS (Before Windows) Computer Sought

  • We’ve had a request from a loyal Millstreet website visitor – This person would very much appreciate it if a DOS Computer was available by anyone.   This would be a pre-1995 Computer before the Windows format.   To operate equipment which this person wishes to use it’s necessary to have a DOS (Direct Operating System – I think it means) type Computer which is not as fast as the later Windows format.   If you feel you may be able to help in the provision of this Computer please get in touch with us here at the Millstreet website or email millstreetmuseum @eircom.net – Many thanks.  (S.R.)
