YOUNG SCIENTISTS

Well done to the 6th class students in Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál New Inn who have qualified for the young scientist competition to be held virtually in January. The project which is titled “Biodiversity in our Area” details how making small changes to a local environment can enhance and attract a wide range of animals to an environment. The girls have built a ‘Bug Hotel’ and a “Bee bomb” area. They are also using a butterfly hotel, bat box, nesting boxes and a bird feed platform to prove their hypothesis.

WOODENSTOWN & SURROUNDING AREAS

COMMUNITY ALERT INFO

We would like to give some helpful tips for dealing with the long and wintery nights: – keep fuel near the house with easy access. A bag of salt is very handy to keep footpaths and walkways ice free. Shoe grips are essential should the weather become icy. At this time of year many of us will be visiting relatives and friends so please ensure you secure all window and doors before you leave your home. Always leave a light on when you are away from your home. This is also a very important time when we should remember to check in on our neighbours and older people in the community, to make sure that are not alone and vulnerable at this time of year. Why not offer to get some fuel/food for your elderly neighbour when you are going shopping yourself or offer a lift to elderly neighbour? Remember to be vigilant regarding any suspicious vehicles or activity in your area. If you notice any strange vehicles take a note of the registration number and colour/type of the vehicle. Don’t’ approach these vehicles. Please contact Cahir Gardai on 052 7445630 or Cashel Gardai on 062 62866. With Covid 19 this year, now more than ever is to remind us all to look after people living alone who might be vulnerable. We would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy Christmas and a lovely New year.

Our adjourned AGM was held Thursday night under covid regulations and our new officers for the year 2021 are as follows; Chairperson: Annette Carroll, Secretary: Louise Moloney,

Registrar: Gillian Hayes, Treasurer: Tara Stafford, Child protection officer: Maria McGrath. Huge thanks to John Fogarty who stepped down after 4 years as chairman, a fantastic worker in the club and we are delighted to say he will continue as our county board rep going forward. To all our coaches also thank you again, without you we would not be able to continue.

Thanks for the support of all parents over this very strange year, and we hope to be back with strength and agility training mid-January, all going to plan. We would like to wish our girls who have moved on from us, the very best in whatever they do next year. They are now over age and unfortunately, we do not have a team for them, but it is our aim to eventually get our minor team up and running. We would like to wish all the girls and parents a very happy and safe Christmas and best wishes for the new year. Thanks again.

 

SINCERE SYMPATHY

It is with deep regret that we learn of the passing of Paddy Maher, Tipperary town and late of Knockgraffon. Paddy was a member of the great team which won the double u15 titles in the 1950s and was one of the Captains. He was also a referee of note and refereed in the West division during the 1960’s. The club wishes to extend its sympathy to his family. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis.

SPOOKFEST

Our Spookfest is back. The New Inn village is holding its annual scarecrow competition from the 18th of this month to the 31st October. We have set out a challenge for every family, household, business, organization to take part in our 2020 competition. This will lift the mood & spirts of everyone during the winter months plus we all have a bit of Craic through Facebook and the media of course. Covid restrictions have limited us from doing the zombie walk & kids party this year and I am sure everyone is going to be gutted, especially the children. So, this year we must make this one the biggest one yet for everybody. So, we need as many scarecrows as possible lining our village and roads so we can get our village buzzing again. So, we are calling all our families, groups of people, townlands, schools, players from teams, clubs etc. to get together and create a masterpiece of a scarecrow or crows of any theme you wish. So far, we have had a fantastic turnout for the first day, 59 scarecrows out there and many more to come. We cannot believe the amount of talent we have out there, a lot of work has gone into making these scarecrows, well done!! Fee is €10 and we will have lots of hampers, trophies, and prizes on offer. All groups must work together as per Covid restrictions and scarecrows will be kept 2m apart at all time. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page Spookfest for further updates. Please ring/text Anita on 087 6505889 with your details and you will receive a number and location for your scarecrow. The competition is on!!
