Congratulations: And Best wishes to Fiona Gettings. Fiona represented Ireland in the cross-country running recently achieving an international selection at the Autumn Open Cross-Country in Dublin. Fiona came 3rd in her age category following the 6000m race in Abbotstown. This not only ensured her place with the top 3 finishers, but it also guaranteed her to qualify and wear the Irish singlet on the F40 team at the British and Irish Masters Championship last Saturday. It was a very competitive race with fast running. Fiona produced an excellent performance over the 6000m to place 4th in her age category and helped Ireland to win F40 team silver. Ireland finished with a team score of 14 points which was only narrowly behind winners England with 13. Well done Fiona another great win to add to her array of sporting achievements.

Bingo Every Monday Night 8.30: Bingo is back in the hall every Monday night; we are still finding our way with the new Hybrid bingo system. This new blend of online bingo and hall bingo makes the game more accessible for all who enjoy playing the wonderful game. Covid provided many challenges for everyone and like many, we were forced to adapt and provide a solution that was accessible and easy to use for all our loyal supporters. To be fair to everyone the committee decided to introduce online bingo at the start of the Covid lockdown. To do this the Main jackpot was frozen and will remain so until we are satisfied that we can continue or not with both online and hall bingo, Jackpot number 2 has supported the online bingo throughout Covid, and we will continue to use this prize money in smaller jackpot prizes as we have been doing throughout the past two plus years or until it is won or runs out. We're proud to say that we were able to do this, and people could play the wonderful game of bingo from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The parish Park Committee prides itself on transparency, fairness and goodwill of its volunteers and we will continue to do so. We appreciate everyone who has supported us over the years and especially throughout the Pandemic. We hope to continue Bingo online and in the hall every Monday night. But as we have already emphasised if the demand for online drops off, we may consider coming offline as the costs are quite high. Anyone wishing to purchase books for online can do so in the usual way or pick up at the parish park on Fridays as you have been doing; So please spread the word we are back. If you have any queries or would like to discuss our Bingo, prize money or jackpots we are always willing to chat and find new ways to improve the wonderful game. Please call James 086 3125876 Stephen 087 6449500 or Kevin 087 1375222

Bingo Every Monday Night 8.30: Bingo is back in the hall every Monday night, The committee would like to thank all the volunteers who turned out to support us and make everyone feel comfortable.

Covid provided many challenges for everyone and like many, we were forced to adapt and provide a solution that was accessible and easy to use for all our loyal supporters. To be fair to everyone the committee decided to introduce online bingo at the start of the Covid lockdown. To do this the Main jackpot was frozen and will remain so until we are satisfied that we can continue or not with both online and hall bingo, Jackpot number 2 has supported the online bingo throughout Covid and we will continue to use this prize money in smaller jackpot prizes as we have been doing throughout the past two plus years or until it is won or runs out. We're proud to say that we were able to do this and people could play the wonderful game of bingo from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The parish Park Committee prides itself on transparency, fairness and goodwill of its volunteers and we will continue to do so. We appreciate everyone who has supported us over the years and especially throughout the Pandemic. We hope to continue Bingo online and in the hall every Monday night. But as we have already emphasised if the demand for online drops off we may consider coming offline as the costs are quite high.

Active Retirement Trip:
Streete Active Retirement Group sign book of condolences at Leinster House.
A most memorable day out was had by the Streete Active Retirement Group when they made a visit to Dáil Éireann and the house of the Oireachtas in Leinster House on Thursday, October 13th last. The group had pre-planned this visit back in 2020 but unfortunately, covid had its own ideas and the tour had to be cancelled as the nation went into lockdown. The group leader Kevin Brady of Streete active Retirement, said we are delighted to be back out and about again after being out of circulation for so long. Covid was a trying time for us all but mainly for the young and those a little older and greater in age. I understand why it was necessary to ask people to cocoon but the restrictions, however, justified, caused enormous distress to our communities. For our older folk, it was a time of deep frustration which for many affected their mental health leaving long-lasting effects. Kevin said’’ we had a few meetings since the restrictions were eased but It wasn’t until our meeting in August that people seemed willing to gather and take part in our drop-in morning, which takes place once a month at our community centre. This all-important friendly chat and a cup of tea. is a great way for people to gain confidence and break away from the loneliness, isolation, and anxiety, built up from the pandemic. I feel people are more at ease now and willing to talk about the precious time lost which cannot be regained. So with the memory of Covid hopefully well in the past, we set about resuming our trips away and getting back to a new normal picking up where we left off. So with the group's approval, and a quick phone call to Martina in Peter Burkes constituency office a date was set and the Gardai Minibus was booked. It didn’t take long for the seats on the bus to be filled and off we set for Leinster house. I would like to thank Minister Peter Burke who made the visit possible, Peter was on hand to welcome us to Government buildings and made us feel at home. He left us in the very capable and knowledgeable hand of Paul an organised tour guide, who gave us a great tour of the beautiful government buildings. Before leading us to the viewing balcony, where we gazed down on the lower house and the live proceedings of the Dáil, our guide was magnificent, in his knowledge of Leister house and its history. He left us in no doubt to be a public reprehensive you had to be well-read and able to answer parliamentary questions from the benches regardless of which party you represent, this was evident as we entered Seanad Eireann and listened to some lively debate which I have to admit was very enjoyable and truly amazing to watch our public representatives in action. Kevin said this was my first time at Leinster house and I have to say, it was a great experience and a chance in a lifetime to fully understand how hard the work our elected members do and the long hours they put in, with our tour nearing the end our guide showed us into and the Dáil bar and restaurant where we enjoyed a lovely lunch surrounded by the company of public representatives and Minister senators and staff all openly welcoming and friendly. We are grateful to Peter Burke and Robert Troy and Senator Micheál Carrigy who joined us for a chat before our group made our way to the front hall where Peter and Robert asked us if we would like to sign the book of condolences as a mark of solidarity and sympathy with the families off Creeslough as an expression of our heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences" This indeed was an honour in itself on behalf of our nation as our hearts and minds go out to the community Creeslough on this devastating tragedy who now have to come to terms with their great loss as they lay their loved ones to rest.
With our tour over we headed into the Museum Of Archaeology where we saw the magnificent Ardagh Chalice, made of gold, silver and precious gems and the Tara Brooch, a gem-encrusted brooch which extremely rich people would have worn. It was a great day out and we’d love to go again sometime in the future. I can’t describe how wonderful it is to be out and about again. I urge people to join an active retired group a club or any organisation which helps you beat of the loneliness and isolation of life and helps you to focus on the positive side of life, it's amazing how being part of something can alleviate the daily stress of living in these trying times, especially our older people, anyone is welcome to join our group, you don’t have to be from Streete, but a word of warning, our rules are few and we aim to keep it that way. Our motto is simple in the words of the great author Helen Keller. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Bingo: Will return to our hall on Monday night 17th at 8.30. Bingo and Lotto will start back in the new with great prize money to be won. We appreciate everyone who has supported us over the years and especially throughout the Pandemic. We hope to continue Bingo online and in the hall every Monday night.
