On October 10, at the The Haven Hotel in Dunmore East, Cormac Louth will present an illustrated lecture on 200 years of the RNLI in Ireland. It promises to be a very interesting lecture, especially for those currently volunteering with Dunmore East RNLI, or indeed anyone remotely interested locally. Cormac will be showing a great many rare and interesting images that will include photographs, charts, and paintings and will touch on the great number of shipwrecks around our South East coast and focus attention on the number of rescues carried out by the RNLI.

The committee of Gaultier GAA Club regrettably had to make the decision to postpone our Car Draw until October 27. The Car Draw was put in place to raise funds for our new playing pitch and unfortunately our ticket sales have fallen short of target at this moment in time. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us so far and would ask anyone who was thinking of buying tickets but hasn't done so yet, to please push the button. The committee are working on an updated plan to ensure the revenue for the draw is maximised to its full potential and are confident to meet our targets in advance of our new draw date. Tickets are available online at https://www.collectit.ie/gaultiergaa/tickets/or in store at Gaultier GAA Club's grounds, Tom Murphy Car Sales, Cork Road Waterford. and Dungarvan Motor Mall, Youghal Road, Dungarvan. Proceeds will go towards the Gaultier GAA Playing Facility Development project
