Beaufort GAA Club is organising a charity walk tomorrow (Saturday) in support of RTE presenter Charlie Bird.

On Saturday Charlie, who was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease late last year will, with a group of friends and supporters, climb Croagh Patrick in Mayo to raise funds and awareness for the illness.

The charity event has gained support from community organisations all over the country and Beaufort GAA is one of several local groups who have organised a walk in solidarity with him from Kate Kearney’s Cottage to landmark sights in the Gap of Dunloe area starting at 9am.

One walk is 10km in length and going as far as Arbutus Cottage, while a shorter 5km walk will take participants to the Wishing Bridge.

“This is open to all abilities and if people do not want to go the full distances they can turn back at anytime,” Beaufort GAA secretary Brigid Hartnett told the Killarney Advertiser.

“Entry fee is by donation bucket and all funds go to the Motor Neuron Disease and Pieta.”

More details are available from Brigid on 087 9975737.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
