Local Note Update - 10 Nov 2018

​IMPORTANT: - This is an invitation to all in our community to help the newly formed neighbourhood Community Alert committee called Streete Watch, covering the Streete district.  Streete Watch is a simple neighbours helping neighbours approach, by keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity or acts of anti-social behaviour in your area.  The aim is to reduce acts of crime in our community by reporting it to the proper authority, An Garda Siochanna .  The garda are currently working with the group on a programme that is aimed at reducing the possibility of crime in our district and surrounding areas and ask for your support, as remember no one can do it without help from the community.  Members of the committee involved are calling to residents asking for your support.  To cover the expenses of this worthwhile organisation which has full approval of the Garda, they are hoping to receive €10 from each household.  The next meeting is this Wednesday, 14th in Streete Parish Park and will be attended by the new Crime Prevention Specialist, paddy Guinan who will explain the best way to protect your property.  By paying €10 you will receive text to alert of any problems of concern.  Contact numbers are, Kevin 087 1375222 or Paula 087 9680739

STREETE BOWLS: - Streete C had Ardagh A as their visitors at the Streete Complex last Tuesday night but unfortunately Ardagh proved too strong for the home side. Streete A travelled to Castlepollard on Wednesday night where they had a very successful outing, coming away with a win of three games to one and the bonus point. All the Streete bowlers would like to extend their condolences to Tyrrellspass bowler Mick Lynch, on the death of his wife Mary. May she rest in peace. New and lapsed bowlers are always welcome at the complex on Tuesday nights.

The club would like to take this opportunity to thank Moydow club man and good supporter of this club, Ronan Quinn of Derrymore Peat Ltd.

BOHERQUILL RAMBLERS; - The reflection of the sun in the calm water of Lough Sallagh near Ballinamuck formed a beautiful scene during the Ramblers walk on Sunday 4 November 2018. There were also lots of swans out on the water as the group skirted the lough on the Lough Sallagh Way and then to round off the afternoon there was a beautiful red sunset as the group headed for home. Thank you to Marian Carty for leading the walk and providing the lovely fruit cake to accompany the tea at the end of the walk
