CAMOGIE CALENDAR.

We launched our 2015 Calendar on Sunday morning last at the Kickham Sale of Work. The Calendar which celebrates Camogie in the

the parish over the past four decades proved to be a huge hit. Containing over sixty photographs from 1985 right up to the

present day it features a number of mother and daughters and aunts and nieces. There is a limited availability of the Calendar

so anyone wishing to obtain a copy please contact Margaret O'Carroll on 0872465340 or Liza Roche on 0868640836.

KNOCKAVILLA COMMUNITY COUNCIL

TABLE TENNIS

The table tennis nights have proven very popular with everyone. On Tuesday nights from 7pm to 8pm children age 10 to 14years

are invited to come along to Knockavilla hall to play. On Thursday nights, anyone aged from 15 to 99 are welcome to take part

from 8pm to 9pm. €1 per person. We now have 3 tables on the go, so plenty of games for everyone.

 

CONCERT

We will be holding a fundraising Christmas concert in Knockavilla hall on Friday December 5th, when Tipperary Gospel choir will

perform all the favourites of the season. Tickets will go on sale for this show shortly, and as the seating capacity in the hall

is limited, it is advisable to book or purchase your tickets from any council member as soon as possible. We will hopefully have

some performances from some of our local talent also. Tickets cost €10.

SANTA

On Saturday December 6th, Santa will make his annual trip to Knockavilla to switch on the Christmas tree lights, followed by a

free magic show for all the children in Knockavilla hall, courtesy of Knockavilla Community Council.

COUNTY CHAMPIONS

Congratulations to the U13 Boys’ Football team who won the INTO/Allianz County Cumann na mBunscol Final in Cashel on Wednesday last.

It was a very closely contested final against a strong team from Gaelscoil Chluain Meala, with a full-time result of 2-11 to 2-4.

This was a second-in-a-row success for Scoil Mhuire in this competition. Well done to the pupils’ teachers and coaches who have

worked with and encouraged the boys. Many thanks also to the large number of pupils, parents, friends and representatives of the

local Kickham GAA club who turned out to support the school.

The Scoil Mhuire school calendars will go on sale next weekend. We are very grateful to the local businesses, parents and suppliers

who have been so generous in their continued sponsorship of this fund-raising venture. We have many orders in for the calendars.
