April updates and more

April has seen a range of activities take place in the Bandon area:

Last night, Bandon Town Mayor, Gearoid Buckley, hosted a 'Think Tank' in St Brogans. The concept was to learn from other towns and to develop new ideas with a view to a long term plan to help our town. More details to follow.

Last month saw the Final of the Dragons cave competition sponsored by ODM. Those present on the night will agree that congratulations are due to all involved and inparticualr to the winners from Colaiste na Toirbhirte, Fluirse health food.
Words can't describe the debt of gratitude that are owed to the sponsors, ODM, who facilitated the activities with not only sponsoring the many prizes, but probably more importantly, the investment that they made with their time in going from school to school giving advice and motivation. Well done to all concerned.

The annual Bandon Opinion awards ceremony takes place this Friday evening (April 16). The event, sponsored this year by the Bandon Credit Union acknowledges the achievements of groups and individuals who have excelled in their particular special area and / or have contributed greatly to the quality of life locally. Best of luck to those nominated and congratulations in advance to all concerned.
This year, the event will take place in the Inchydoney Lodge and Spa.

It's that time of year to get involved with the annual Richie O'Neill memorial walk. Check out the calendar section for more details.

Watch out also for details on: the Bandon Music Festival, the Bandon Show, the relaunching of a marketing campaign to promote Bandon and keep an eye out for other interesting activities for young and old alike .... watch this space!!!

Don't forget to help promote Bandon in the USA by checking out the previous blog on this website.

And finally, expect a change with the www.bandon.ie website in the very near future. We expect to have a long awaited section on the make-up of the Bandon Town Council and another related section with the minutes of the meetings of the Council.
This should be a valuable tool for those interested in seeing what is happening with various town-related issues. We had hoped to have this done a while ago but unforeseen events, in particular with the change in storage format by www.blogger.com delayed things considerably.
We have secured the talents of local people to help improve our site. more details to follow.

Regards,
TC
