A Foroige Youth Club will open in Ballyboughal on Friday 10th September. The club will meet every Friday evening from 8-9.30pm in the school hall. The club is for all secondary school students from the area. The club will provide a much needed social outlet for young people from the area to come together and meet their friends in a safe space.
The club will be run by volunteers from the local area, all of whom have been trained. The club will also be supported by Foroige, National Youth Development Organisation.
If anyone has an hour to spare and would be interested in volunteering in the club you can contact bryan[dot]gavin[at]foroige[dot]ie
Why is this on ballyboughal’s website….? I asked Paddy for his thoughts on the upcoming game between Naomh Mearnóg and Ballyboughal taking place this wednesday, in Portmarnock.
The 10 green questions were also written by Yvonne Delaney
Yesterday I was down at the pitch and putt club. Just as we were closing up, Aidan Stell takes a brand spanking new set of [what would one call them] Tee Markers out of the back of his car. All numbered 1 – 9 with the directional arrows on them to the pin and hands them to Ronnie.
...
Says Aidan
Well I’d rather make these than watch tv….
If you are down by the course pop your head in and take a look at them. Really nice touch to the course.
Don’t forget pitch and putt club membership is only €30 for the year with no green fees. You’ll find more information over at ballyboughalpitchandputt.com
Straight from Peter’s Garden weblog…. another of his now famous garden classes is set to take place. Book it while you can. Comments over on Peters site only.
course title: grow your own garden class
where: ballyboughal [just outside Swords, north Dublin]
when: saturday 21st August 2010
time: 9.30am – 3.30pm
cost: €75 – including morning tea, lunch and all materials
numbers limit: minimum of 8 and 12 people max
Who is it for:
If you don’t wish to farm your entire garden
or remortgage the house so you can garden full time
If don’t [or do] have an allotment
or you simply wish to gather the simple basics to get started
whether you have a window ledge or a small patio
or just wish to grow in pots on that amount of space
I’ll assume you have a life, possibly kids and a full time job
or just enough time in life between eastenders and the 9 o’clock news.
A similar set up to the previous GYO class, the theory is that in one session you will go home with enough skills to be able to look after yourself from a grow your own – without the use of a tractor – point of view
if numbers are 8 or more it’ll run – if not no bother. If you do put your name down keep an eye on this blog post. But I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t. Weather won’t pose a problem. Numbers will include only the first 8/12 names down on the list.
There’s an idea:
interested in having your very own personalised class done at your place of work or home for your group of friends or colleagues…. ? contact details above.
From what I can gather, almost 40 people took to the road for The Ballyboughal Pitch and Putt Club Annual Day Out.
Meeting at 3pm we took to the Bog O the Ring and The Ring Commons 18 hole Pitch and Putt course. Play commenced at around 3.30pm and after the main competition, a cup of tea and a sandwich later, we returned for the trio scramble. If you are interested money-wise the entire day cost €12. You couldn’t have bought it if you tried
Around 8pm we finished up playing what I can only describe as a beautifully maintained and landscaped course that for some, proved a little tricky at times. I know a few were thinking of nipping off during the cuppa and returning with full intentions of filling in that water
Destination after was O’Connors pub. Lovely sandwiches and food was waiting for us just after the prizes and trophies. Of course an el presidenté day out wouldn’t have been complete without an oul session.
I think I can safely say everyone had an amazing day out and a great evening.
To those who organised it all and to the many amazing people I met. Thank you so very much.
Early this week, in the only pub in the village, I noticed a plethora of posters and notices dawning the walls of upcoming entertainment. I spoke with Bar Man-ager extraordinaire Dave Leavy about the why, who and what was on the horizon for the local tavern.
Credit where it is due, effort is being made – a lot of it. Watch this space. Bulaidh bós mór to the lads.
As far as I am aware Frank will be playing in the right had side of the pub – I prefer that option. The left hand side never really did it for me, personally. Kick off is about 10pm.
By all accounts if you are into the softer side of the 60′s, 70′s and onwards Frank has a great reputation for a great nights entertainment. Really great to see the Saturday nights kicking off again
