Gaelic4Girls Programme
There was plenty of fun and football recently for the
Kildavin/Clonegal girls who finished up the Gaelic4Girls programme with a
very enjoyable blitz in
Carlow Town Hurling Club. Most of these girls aged between 8 and 12 had never
played football before and this eight week programme saw girls learn the
basic skills and participate in some fun mini games. It is hoped the girls
will now continue to train with the club into the future. On the day two
teams participated with both playing three matches. The girls also recently
received their Gaelc4Girls t-shirt and will shortly receive their certificate
of participation. A big thanks to all involved. Anyonel interested in
joining should contact Sarah on 087 2823110.

Clonegal
Bottle Bank is for Recycling not Dumping
The
photograph on the left was taken on 17th January 2019.
It is very disappointing that some people treat the
bottle bank as a dumping area. Volunteers keep the bottle
bank area
neat and tidy and it is grossly unfair to dump in
that area and expect volunteers to clean it up. Those
who use the bottle
bank are asked to bring their bottles/cans home with
them if the bins are full and return when the bins have
been emptied.
Do not leave them on the ground. Clonegal
Tidy Village Association will be installing CCTV
which will monitor the area.
Accommodation Required for the National Ploughing Championships:

for
additional accommodation in the County Carlow area. If you
have a house or room available to rent at reasonable rates
and would like to support the National Ploughing Championships,
please register your interest on: www.carlowtourism.com/submityourproperty

From Carlow Streams
There is a long and rich oral tradition of song and story in
Carlow though much has been lost, which is why the creators
and collaborators of Carlow Streams are passionate about preserving
what we have, and ask for anyone with knowledge of local history
and traditions contact them at www.fromcarlowstreams.ie or
the Carlow Tourism website. Alternatively, contact Dave Barron
at daveb@fromcarlowstreams.ie
or 087 2204488.
The project was conceived by local man Dave Barron who has
a deep interest in the Irish language and folklore and the
importance
of the Rambling House where culture was passed from one generation
to the next.
Support for the initiative has come from Carlow Tourism,
Creative Ireland Carlow, Carlow Museum and Carlow County
Library, along with the families of Luke Morrissey, Willie
White, Jim Nolan, Seamus Murphy and MC Nolan. To date, Dave
has gathered material for the site from a disparate group
of collectors around the county whose contributions are included
in this cultural website. These include Danny Browne, Carlow
Historical and Archaeological Society (CHAS), Tony Malone,
Eddie McDonald, the late Luke Morrissey, the late Seamus
Murphy, the late Willie White, John Candy, Dermot Mulligan,
John Shortall, Seamus Dunne and Michael Rice. The list continues
to grow.

A
Robot for Clonegal
The
picturesque village of Clonegal, Co. Carlow has a new resident
- one who has a very distinct look. Its arms are conveyor
rollers from a quarry; its feet are the bucket teeth from
a digger. It has bolts for fingers and an engine for a
stomach. Its eyebrows are wire brushes, its hair comprises
motorbike chains and its cheery smile is thanks to the
roller from a conveyor belt.
This smiling metal man, who carries a suitcase, is completely made from recycled
scrap parts and was created by Liam Birmingham, a second-year mechanical engineering
student from Institute of Technology Carlow. And on Wednesday 13th June Liam,
alongside his engineering lecturers Dr. Anthony Nolan and Dr. Cathal Nolan, presented
the smiling ‘Tin Man’ to the Clonegal Tidy Towns committee. He will
reside in the square opposite the church in Clonegal village where his suitcase
will store used batteries as part of Clonegal’s ongoing efforts to “reduce,
reuse and recycle”.

of the robot), Dr. Anthony Nolan Carlow IT,
