Hi everyone
A number of locals expressed an interest in some more benches for walkers in Monellan woods.
Our members have agreed to manufacture the benches at no labour cost and Coillte have agreed to install them at their cost.
There is a cost of materials for the benches so this post is to guage would any individuals or businesses be interested in sponsoring the cost of materials for a bench.
Coillte have a particular design and specification for the benches like in the picture attached.
We could have your name, your business’s name, or perhaps in memory of a loved one placed on a little plaque on the bench.
We hope to have 3 benches and 2 seats so we were thinking €250 to sponsor a bench and €200 to sponsor a seat. Which is the cost of materials for each.
A first come first served approach is maybe the fairest way so if you can post below this message if you wish avail of this. Or private message.

We are looking to try a new programme, Walking for All, here at the CAKE Centre. The initial plan is to meet on a Monday and Wednesday evening at 7pm, with Saturday mornings at 9am as a new alternative, at the centre.

Designed to improve health and well-being in rural communities by making walking more accessible, enjoyable, and social for everyone to explore and participate in, Walking for All, will deliver short, regular walks in local community spaces. The programme is open to adults, regardless of age, background, or ability. By fostering a focus on connection, inclusion, and well-being, Walking for All will seek to build sustainable, healthy communities and address issues such as social isolation, wellbeing and inactivity.

The plan would be to have two different routes; a short route or a longer route, so it will suit everyone. This would be a great addition to our current Move2Improve and Smovey Classes and will bring its own social element too.

All we need is a few people to agree to be walk leaders, basically to lead either group. Training will be provided.

Get in touch with either ourselves or Adam 🤗

Farmers Market September 2026 Review

What can I say?? To say we are extremely proud, is an understatement. We did not know what to expect and the support from both our stall holders and our community (and beyond) blew our minds.
We can't express our gratitude for that, but the Killygordon Farmers Market is officially on the map!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

We had an amazing team to make this first market as successful as possible. Thank you to Rebecca, Norman, Noel and Keelan for helping with our set up and on assistance on the day. It couldn't have happened without you. We greatly appreciate it. To Curragh Athletic Fc for working with us to make this happen, you guys are great. To Red Hughs GAA for the loan of their tables, to Philip Carlin for helping to collect the tables and to Topline McCrearys for the loan of their van to leave the tables back, thank you. Also, to John Hunter for assisting me yesterday with making sure everything went smoothly!! To my directors for their support in allowing me to go with my ideas and for being there yesterday to help. Lastly, to our stall holders for their patience in understanding this was our first, and they just created such a fab atmosphere in the centre. Team work makes the dream work 💪

The impact something like this has on our local small businesses is phenomenal 👏

If we didn't get a picture of your stall, my apologies, please send me ones, it was quite busy yesterday!!

We will look at parking for going forward, it was hard to plan for this one, but we will be looking on how to improve on that.

On behalf of myself, the CAKE directors and the FV CE Scheme, thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday 3rd October for our next one. Maxine (CAKE Centre Manager) 😊🎉❤️
