FAREWELL BAR-B-Q
The FAS staff and Tidy Towns members said a goodbye to Robert at a very enjoyable Bar-B-Q recently. Robert had completed his work term in the village.  During that term he built many stone walls and pavements throughout the village keeping carefully to the style set by the late Ganly brothers Brian and Johnny.  Catering for the night was by Ingolf and Rosie.

FLOWER LADIES
The Tidy Towns are very thankful to all the ladies who offered to care for the flower beds in the village.  As a result of their goodwill the village never looked so good.  The final judging is next week and we hope the judges find it free of litter.
