Club Notes
Boherquill Ramblers
The Ramblers visited Derrycassin Wood near Granard on Sunday 18 October 2026. A fine new car park has been constructed since the group’s last visit, making parking much easier and safer for walkers and spectators at the adjacent GAA pitch. It was a beautiful autumn day for the walk with sunshine, clear air and no wind, so the views across Lough Gowna were beautiful with trees and clouds reflected in the tranquil water.
The trees were just starting to take on their autumn shades, adding colour to the scene and the trails were strewn with the shells of beech nuts in many places. On Sunday 1 November 2026 the Ramblers will meet at 14:00 (2:00 PM) at Ballinea for a walk beside the Royal Canal. See boherquillramblers.ie for more information.

Streete & District Heritage Society
Streete & District Heritage Society is a group of like-minded people with a shared love of our local history. Our aim is to record the story of our parish townland by townland – its people, homes, families, and the journeys of those who left Streete for new lives around the world. We want to map the heritage remembered by local people: old field names, wells, gates, forges, Mass paths, hedge schools, old roads, ruins and forgotten places, along with the stories attached to them.
We also hope to reconnect old homesteads and families with our local cemeteries, including burial places where no headstone remains, creating a simple searchable grave and plot finder. Above all, we want to preserve the knowledge held in our community before it is lost – ensuring every townland, every family and every story has its place in the history of Streete. We are asking people of all ages to get involved.
Become an ambassador for your townland, family or particular area of interest and help us uncover and preserve its story. We would especially love to hear from people who have left the parish but still call Streete home at heart. Wherever in the world you may be, you can still be part of preserving the story of where you came from.
To get involved or find out more, please contact Kevin on (087) 137 5222. Or email kbrady1964@gmail.com
