Not a bad week weather wise and visitors wise, its certainly building into a potentially year, I mean this weekend was busy, also helped my the Roundstone Market, talking about the market which has been held in the Community Hall car park, it is hoped that next Sunday the stalls will be up on the Tennis courts which makes much more sense, parking space in the village is fairly limited, therefore this will release the Car Park, I have to say some really wonderful Stalls.
Tidy Towns:
The application for the Tidy Towns competition has now gone in, the first judicator will be around the middle of June, and the second some time in July, i think the panel will be quite surprised this hear the Hanging baskets makes a big difference, plus some more of the eye sores have been cleaned up, but till we can not sit on our laurels and do nothing, its up to one and all to keep our front doors and the visual gardens in order. So let’s hope we can earn a few more points, and one day hopefully wins our category. We have come along way, Ann was showing me some old photos of the 50’s and 60’s of what Roundstone looked like then, one could say rustic , quaint with a certain dilapidated charm, but I will leave you to use your own imagination. I will scan these photos and put them on to the web site so that you can see what I mean, they are great photos to archive for the next generation.
Arts Weekend 2nd 3rd and 4th July
As was mentioned we will only have a week end in the name of the Arts week which will be held the first week end in July, we are looking at walks, a Piano recital at Errisbeg House with Claire and Debbie Wallace, an Opening on the Friday 2nd July of art Exhibition works from Brenda O’Malley at the stable Gallery, Lace making demonstration with Wendy, lots of music, and Seanos dancing on the streets etc. Funding is difficult this year and we are both fed up begging off our friends for donations, so very low quay this year just to keep the arts week alive and kicking so to speak with the idea to raise some funds during this year for the next year’s Roundstone Arts Week 2011, god now’s how, god loves a Trier.
First holy Communion 30th May;
Congratulations to all the kids who made their first holy communion yesterday, they were, Dillon King, Owen Mahon, Rory King and the only girl Brownyn Laffey. Unfortunately I was unable to attend with my camera therefore I have no pictures of the event, perhaps if the said kids parents would pass a few on to me that would be great. So congratulations boys and girls in this mile stone of your lives.
Meadhbh O’Niel:
Meadhbh O’Niel the 7 year old Gran daughter of Ann Conneely was invited to dance the Seanos “brush dance” in the RTE production of the Jig Gig in the studios in Dublin a few days ago, Meadhbh has been a pupil of Eileen Cunningham last year in Ballyconneely.
This episode of Jig Gig will go out on air with TG4 in the autumn, what is so amazing about Meadhbh, she was being judged with a few others who were far older and a lot more experience in a rather intimidating environment in front of camera’s for her age, but the accolade she received from the two judges were encouraging to her, and were really impressed with her, I have a feeling in a few more years time, we will hear a lot more about her with this dance talent of hers. So, well done Maeve, and your shear determination and courage to take part, not an easy thing to do.
Children’s Fun Run:
We have the children’s fun Run in Roundstone next Sunday, with Disco and bouncing castle and of course the face painting, starting at 2.30pm, so we need every body out there to take part in one way or another, you can even push the Baby, you will all be on camera for the crac.
Have a great week and keep smiling
