Christmas Tree Lighting Event on the Green in Laragh

The Glendalough Arts Network are creating a Christmas event, for the children of the community on the green opposite Lynham’s Sat 10th December.

The event will start in the car park of the Brockagh Centre at 5pm sharp, where the children will  walk, supervised down to the green for the switching on of the Christmas tree lights. Children are welcome to dress in Christmas costumes as they wish . There will be a short Christmas pageant of “The Night Before Christmas” featuring some of the children following which the Christmas lights will all be switched on. Weather permitting there will be Christmas singing around the tree and then everyone is welcome to go to the function room in Lynham’s Hotel where the fun will continue and Christmas drinks and mince pies are available to buy. The children’s Christmas wishes will be on display.

We will keep you posted here on any other arrangments in the event of bad weather on the night.

Tinahely Arts Group Events

TAG is currently working on a major public art project to coincide with the annual Tinahely Trail Walking Festival in 2011. The Tinahely Sheep Flock will be comprised of approximately two dozen 2‐dimensional metal sheep (almost one metre in length and more than half a meter tall, with some smaller lambs), each of which will be customised by individual artists in a variety of styles and materials. The flock will celebrate Tinahely’s history as a vibrant market town and will be unveiled at a central location on the Festival Weekend, on Friday April 29th. Each sheep will have an ear tag identifying its designer, and the flock will make a striking visual display for this busy weekend.Details of TAG and our members can be found on the group’s website at
http://tinahelyartsgroup.wordpress.com. For more information you can e‐mail the committee at: tinahelyartists@gmail.com. Individual bios and photos can be made available through the committee, and the Tinahely Sheep Flock project will be documented in images, words and video.

Reward for recovery of items lost on the Lantern Walk

Hi All

Seems we have had one major casualty from the nights festivities and we would like your help in recovering them.

A brown paper bag containing two gipsy bibs that were used as part of the event.

They were last seen in Lynams of Laragh on the night of October 22nd.

We are happy to pay a reward for the recovery of lost items as these particular items were borrowed from Ardmore Studios and are irreplaceable. Translated as, ‘we need to find them pronto’.

Please can you put the word out. You can contact Pauline in the Brockagh centre on 0404-45600.
