School Trip to Fethard Folk Museum Fethard Sister Cities Project “The news we see about Fethard is a joy to read. I know it's been 20 years in the making, but I can't help thinking we are seeing the birth of a new Fethard in the developments outlined. In a key decision, the rendering plant has been refused permission to locate in the area by the South Tipperary County Council. Fethard’s agricultural and equine environment and economy will be preserved as a basis for future development. The Walled Towns Day continues to grow as a regional and international draw. How I wish I could have been there to walk the heraldic walk and see the young people pictured with their coats of arms. That said, I'm going to cut right to the chase the Fethard & Town of Saratoga Sister Cities Project we have one major accomplishment to date which is a formal commitment on both sides to enter into a Sister Cities exchange. I hope we can continue to build on this foundation. 1) We have not yet formally registered with Sister Cities International, and we should do that. The Council has received from Town of Saratoga a hard copy of the portfolio of letters of support and an electronic version of the resolution in favour of the Sister Cities exchange. Is Fethard at a point where they can reciprocate? I know that a number of organizations on the Irish side have expressed interest. Once we begin to have this picture for both sides, we can start to line up organizations with similar interests. I can already see some tandems, for example, Heritage Council and the Irish Walled Town Network = Saratoga National Historical Park; Teagasc = Saratoga County Farm Bureau; Slievenamon Golf Club = Saratoga National Golf Club; Fethard's Equine Group = Cornell Cooperative Extension Equine Program. I know that the Town of Saratoga is proud to have been mentioned as a Sister Cities partner with Fethard in tourism development in the Fethard.com news story opposing the rendering plant. The lead community organization for the Sister Cities exchange on the Town of Saratoga side is the Saratoga Chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The Hibernians are a national organization and a major potential source of tourism. Much of the real work on the Saratoga side of the exchange will be done by the Saratoga Chapter.” Table Quiz in aid of Africa On the night there is also a raffle, which includes two very attractive valuable prizes and lots of other smaller prizes. First prize is one year’s membership of Clonmel Park Hotel Leisure Centre, and second prize is two nights bed and breakfast for two people in the Dear Park Hotel, Howth, which includes hot-stone massage at DP Spa. Pilates Classes Aerobics with Body Toning Circuit Classes with Aerobics will commence in Ballingarry Community Hall on Thursday 13th September from 8.30pm to 9.30pm also costing €7. Just bring towel, mat and bottle of water. For further information on any of these classes please contact Esther O’Dwyer (NCEF Fitness Instructor with Occ. First Aid) on Tel: 086 8960369. Trust Golf Classic and Barbecue Prizes will be presented that night in McCarthys, followed by a charity auction and barbecue. Admission is free and music on the night will be provided by ‘Supernoodles’ from Kilkenny (better known around Fethard by their old name, Back Door). Once again, many thanks to all those who have given us so much support over the past few years. |
