Whist Drives

Whist Drives – Another season has ended and our thanks goes to all who contributed in  many ways. We will begin a new season in September. It is hoped that more of those who have been learning with Heather and her helpers, will find the courage to come along and play – we might learn much from them!.

We rely on donations of prizes from parishioners and friends, so that the prceeds can go, completely to the Assessment – about €2,500 is raised each year for this purpose. Donations can be left into the church on weekday mornings before 11.30am or given to anybody who will pass them on.

Play begins at 8pm in the school hall opposite Old St Mary's, Clonmel on:

   Friday,  11^th October     2013

Farewell –

On 26th March 2012 the national flag was lowered for the last time at Kickham Barracks, Clonmel. Clonmel had been a garrison town since Cromwell had lost his campaign in Ireland when the Irish rebels opened the gates during the night to let his army in, but to find that the Irish leaders were gone down the River Suir to safety. Clonmel was the only place where Cromwell did not massacre the inhabitants. It was a sad day as the military parade passed through the town to enter the barracks for the last time. The effects of this closing of the army barracks will have enormous implications for a town already devastated by the recession.
