St. Fintan's Parents Association: - would like to give a big thank you to Mr. John Feerick and the staff at Feerick's. Thanks to their generosity and

BOHERQUILL RAMBLERS: - The Ramblers had a chance to try out the renovated walking track at Streete
Parish Park when they based their walk there on Sunday 16 December 2018.
The spring-like weather encouraged them to test the track after their loop
walk past the ruins of Nugent's Castle near Coolamber, and their afternoon
ended with tea and a selection of buns and biscuits in the Parish Park
thanks to Club President Brian Nerney.
The Ramblers will meet at 11am in Mullaghmeen Forest for their traditional
St. Stephen's Day walk. Cars will leave Boherquill at 10.30am and pause at
the Town and Country pub in Castlepollard at 10.40am before moving on to
Mullaghmeen.
On Sunday 30 December the Ramblers will walk in Kilbixy. Cars will leave
Boherquill at 1.30pm and meet at Kilbixy at 2pm for a 6 km road and forest
trails walk.
All Ramblers and their families are wished a Happy and Healthy Christmas
break and a Happy New Year.
New members are always welcome. For details phone Philip at 087 7753612 or
