Glenflesk and Kilcummin GAA Clubs have announced KWD as the main sponsor for its upcoming fundraiser, ‘A Night at the OsKaRs’.

The event will take place on December 7 in the INEC.

This is not the first time that the local re-cycling company have got behind the two clubs, as they were also the main sponsor when the OsKaR fundraiser was first tool place in 2018.

On that occasion it was a huge success, attracting a capacity crowd to the INEC and raising much needed funds for both clubs.

This year’s event promises to be bigger and better, with over a hundred actors signed up to act out eight films on the night.

“It’s great to be supporting a local event, the clubs did such a good job five years ago that we are proud to be part of it again,” said KWD’s Sean Murphy.

The sponsorship deal was officially launched last week in the Killarney Heights Hotel.

“We are extremely grateful for KWD’s generous support which will play a pivotal role in the success of the event,” says Niamh Dwyer of Kilcummin GAA.

Bringing together the two clubs and parishes has generated huge interest in the event, with lots of new people taking part this time around.

Rehearsals start on September 6 with filming taking place in early October.

“There is a real buzz around the place and actors can’t wait to get started,” said Derry Healy of Glenflesk GAA, “Having a company like KWD supporting us has given us a massive boost.”

Killarney Camera Club has announced the results for the Unrestricted Category of its monthly competition, which cantered on the theme of Texture.

The winning photograph in the Unrestricted Category is ‘The Old Shed Door’ by Ade Desbrow.
Mr Desbrow captured his winning image unexpectedly just before demolishing an old shed at the bottom of his garden.
He was drawn to the shed’s old timber door, where an antique bolt provided the ideal subject, covered in dust, cobwebs, and years of weathering.
Award-winning photographer Vivian Buckley delivered this month’s critique, praising the winning shot for its quality. Mr. Buckley noted that the final photo displayed incredible clarity, detail, and sharpness. He also highlighted the perfect lighting and reflection from an old mirror beneath the door, which captured “every grain of wood and every delicate thread of cobweb”.
