Calverstown meeting discussed walkway, fundraising ... and Christmas

A proposed walkway between Calverstown and Ballyshannon was a key item on the agenda at a public community meeting last evening organised by the Calverstown Action Network.

The meeting in Dowling's Bar was chaired by Pat Donnelly and was attended by Cllr Ivan Keatley along with committee members and people from the Calverstown community. Those present heard that CAN are awaiting a response from Kildare County Council about the walkway, following the submission of a petition requesting the facility.

The general aim of the meeting was to bring people together to share ideas of developing the Calverstown area and enhancing community spirit. The guest speaker was Bernard Higgins of Narraghmore Community Development who provided insight into how Narraghmore has improved and developed over the last few years. 

A number of possible initiatives to bring the community together and meet neighbours were discussed. An event to turn on the village Christmas lights has been arranged for Saturday 3 December 2022, with light refreshments and additional festive activities planned. A fundraising quiz night will also be held in mid-November — details to follow. 

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday 19 October in Dowling's Bar. All welcome.
