Tennis building 'will fall down'

If something isn't done about the state of the Tennis Club building, 'it will fall down', the recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action heard.



"It is the one structure in the community that needs investment at the moment," Esther Kiely said, noting that the Foroige meetings and the monthly Whist Drive were the only current uses for the building, which is attached to the old Snooker Club hall.




Esther said a pool table donated to Foroige by the Lions Club was suffering from the damp, even though it was very carefully put away after each meeting to try and keep it out of the way of leaks in the roof.



There was some discussion about the Snooker Club Hall (below), to which the Tennis Club building is attached, and the opinion was expressed that it was 'a shame that it was taken up by the Snooker table', which isn't in use.



Noel Clare recalled that there had been 'a very active' Snooker Club many years ago, and the table was probably very valuable.

"Maybe if it was put out that it was to be sold, there'd be a resurgence of interest?" he quipped.
