Club Notes
Streete Vintage Club
Our annual AGM for the year 2026/2027 will be held on Friday October 9th in Streete Parish Park. All members and new members welcome on the night. Our second annual appreciation party will be held in Burkes bar Coole on Sunday 25th of October with live music from 9pm with Brian Mullen. All welcome.
Boherquill Ramblers
The Ramblers met at Shrubbywood on the Coole to Multyfarnham road on Sunday 27 September 2026 and walked along the old green road through to Coolure Harbour on Lough Derravaragh and back again. The grass and undergrowth had grown abundantly since the group’s last visit in May during the Ramblers Walking Festival, showing how quickly these old roads can disappear if they are only rarely used.
On Sunday 11 October 2026 the Ramblers will visit Dublin for a walk at Bohernabreena reservoirs. A bus will leave the car park next to the Fire Station in Mullingar at 10am sharp.
If you intend to join this walk and have not yet done so please contact Nini at (086) 875 4411 ASAP to ascertain numbers. See boherquillramblers.ie.

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
