I got this email in from Ballyboughal’s resident artist extraordinaire Amy Cooney.

Amy has come up with a really great idea of art classes on a Saturday morning in Ballyboughal.

There’s one class for kids and straight after there’s another class for the adults and teenagers.

All of the classes will take place in St Patricks Hall in Ballyboughal ~ located directly opposite O’COnnors Pub and right beside the entrance to Ballyboughal Pitch and Putt Club.

The Classes will last for 10 weeks and cost €10 per class per person.

Amy can be contacted on tel: 0868877467

One thing I do know is Amy’s classes are always fun and whether you are a Leonardo Da Banksy or just beginning, you are guaranteed it is a tenner very well spent.

Classes begin February 18th 2012

Amy Explains:

Saturday morning art classes, for pro’s and beginners.

All aspects of art explored, with a wide range of mediums used. The children classes are fun and messy.

Ideal for creative kids.

The adult classes are easy going and held in a relaxed atmosphere.

Each individual will be guided and thought to paint and draw in there own style.

This class is for any one with an interest in being creative and wants to set aside an hour to focus on there artistic flare.

For more information and a detailed curriculum, please contact Amy ph: 086 8877467

This Saturday, Karaoke returns to O’Connors Pub this Saturday 4th February with what promises to be a cracking night yet again. It always is in fairness.

If you fancy donning that new gúna you have worn since Christmas there are cocktails to match your handbag and shoes for just €5 on the night and should you just so happen to be a liitle nervy shots on the night are just €2 each.

Go on down to your local tavern and knock off those Christmas cob webs. Karaoke, festive cheer and a little livelier than watching Gaybo doing something of the same old on RTE…. G’wan. Treat yourself. It’s calling you home, sweet home. [...]]]>

Yup you heard correctly, I’m growing a mo for Movember. What is Movemeber ?

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Ireland and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

Think I’ll go for the trucker Also I have Mo Bros
