* We have visited the Skibbereen Heritage Centre and found it very interesting. There is a Great Famine Exhibition, an informative film and information about nearby Lough Hyne, Ireland’s first Marine Nature Reserve. They also hold genealogical information including the 1901/11 censuses, Griffith’s Valuation, Tithe Applotments and RC church records for Skibb, Drimoleague, Drinagh, Baltimore and the islands. These are available by appointment only and can either be booked ahead or accessed at a follow up visit.

We will be holding a raffle at the Irish evening on Saturday to help towards the cost of the entertainers. Contributions of prizes from council members for the raffle will be very welcome.
