 Class of ’75 Reunion 


The 1975 first class of St. Patrick’s Boys National School, Borrisoleigh. This was the year the school was officially opened.
Back Row: Enda Loughnane, George Ryan, Eamonn McGrath, Michael Hogan, John Joe Maher, Tom Stapleton, Ger Fogarty and Sean Ryan.
Front Row: Matty Stapleton, John Hogan, Joe Kennedy, Philip Delaney, Joe Loughnane and Barry Ryan.

All fourteen lads travelled by bus last Saturday 14 November to Terryglass where they engaged in the combat activity of Paintballing. Refreshed with a liquid lunch at Paddy’s Restaurant and later for ‘a few sociable beers’ in Borrisokane, they eventually returned to the hospitality of Joe Loughnane’s Pub in Borrisoleigh to  round off the day in style!

 Scoil Bhríde, Fantane First Aid Talk 


Christina O’Dwyer recently gave an introductory talk on basic First Aid to the parents of the children attending Scoil Bhríde, Fantane. All who attended found the presentation to be very informative and practical. The talk came after the Parents’ Association’s AGM during Kellie Kelly and Tracey Devaney were returned as Chairperson and Secretary respectively with Sarah Corcoran being elected as Treasurer.

Greetings from Australia!!!

The following email was received recently from Maureen Price, Australia:

"I’ve been reading your weekly update with great interest. I read about John Egan who emmigrated to Australia, as did my great grand parents, Patrick & Ellen Kelly, I’ve attached some pictures you may like. The grave is at Eganstown."

 

The Kelly headstone

 Maureen goes onto say:
"I came over last year to Borrisoleigh with my mum Bernadette Price nee Kelly. We met some great people walking around chatting, and found Billy Ryan, who knew a cousin. Billy’s mum was a Kelly before marrying, I took pictures at his home."

Clodagh Macra News


Gemma with Marie & Siobhan at the Macra Queen of the Land Festival in Tullamore
 

It is a very busy time for Clodagh Macra. The highlight so far this month has been the IFJ Queen of the Land Festival. Gemma Ryan, Cooleen was the North Tipperary Queen. Although she didn’t win, she represented her club and region excellently. The 27 queens from all over Ireland were put up in The Bridge House Hotel for the weekend and had to partake in everything from interviews to treasure hunts. As always there was a big Clodagh contingent there to support Gemma over the weekend, and everyone certainly enjoyed themselves.

Well done also to our Public speaking team of Liz Kennedy, Edel Ryan and Majella Carey, who took the North Tipp title the previous weekend and they now proceed to the All-Ireland quarter final in December.
The soccer competition will take place on Sunday November 29th and anyone interested should contact Alan.
