Bruree Notes 9/10/2011

Open Night

An open night will be held at Bruree National School on tonight, Thursday, October 13^th, at 8.00 pm to outline draft plans for the development of Bruree sportsfield. This is a follow on to the consultation with the parish which took place recently and results of that consultation will be presented on the night. There was a very positive informative response to the questionnaire which went out to the parish and it is hoped that everyone who made the effort to reply will attend on the night. Thesportsfield is very much a focal point within the community so it is important that the community continue to be involved and support the project. We look forward to and welcome your attendance on the night.

45 Drive

Winners of last week’s 45 Drive were Fintan Stone and Mike O’Brien with nine games. Runners up were Eddie O’Dea and Tom Hanley  and Brendan O’Kelly and Mary O’Leary with eight games. Raffle prizes went to Brendan O’Kelly, Mary Margaret Noonan, Noreen Hayes and Mary Noonan. The 45 Drive continues in the Community Centre every Tuesday night, starting at 8.30 pm sharp.

Sympathy

We extend our sincere sympathy to the family, relatives and friends of Patrick Curtin, Charleville, who died recently.

Defibrillator

The Bruree Rockhill Defibrillator committee would like to thank all those who supported the organisation in their recent fund raising events. The vintage rally, the golf classic and the church gate collection were all generously supported. As a result of this support, there are sufficient funds to commence further training. Therefore anyone interested in becoming a responder should contact 086-6067362. Once again, thank you for your tremendous continued support.
