Arsenic and Old Lace

Sunday 19/04/2015 Richie

Arsenic and Old Lace a theatre production by the Beara Players. On the 17th and 18th of April in the Beacon Night club of Castletownbere. A great couple of nights entertainment were played to a full house on both nights. A lot of effort went into the production with the main players practising for four months.

Thanks to all the people who came along to see the show, it made all the work worthwhile.

St Patricks Day

Tuesday 17/03/2015 Richie

St Patricks Day in Castletownbere 2015 was a great event. The weather was with the crowd and lots of floats turned up for the day hoping to take the first prize for the best dressed up team. There was the normal inter school competition to see who would be the top of the bunch and some of the principals were fighting for the top position…

I still don’t know who won. In any case I put together a video of the floats and did it twice, one with the natural sound of what was going on and the second backed by the Lehanmore Community groups playing in Mac Carthy’s bar after the event.

Pictures are good but a film makes it real

Looking forward to next year. In any case I reckon Bike N Beara should have it….

Operation Transformation

Saturday 28/02/2015 Richie

Operation Transformation Lehanmore Community Centre. It’s all over and a great success it was too. Sponsored by Supervalu Castletownbere. Attended by over 20 people from around the area. Braving storms and dark nights to exercise 3 nights a week in the middle of a bleak winter.

The crew lost a total of 8 and a half stone over the eight week period, but possibly and more importantly “transformed” their lifestyle…
