Put your best foot forward this Sunday
P
POSTPONED from last Sunday, a fundraising walk will make its way through the Gap of Dunloe this Sunday, October 29, and all are welcome.
It is being organised by two Glenflesk men who are set to exchange Carrantuohill for Mount Kilimanjaro in December.
Pat Sheehan of the Loft Fitness Studio and his friend Niall Dennehy are training on Kerry’s hills and slopes and you can join them as they host Sunday’s 11km trek. It commences at 10am and forms part of the duo’s efforts to generate cash for the Irish Kidney Association.
Refreshments will be served at Lord Brandon’s Cottage and tickets, €25, include boat and bus transfer.
“We are climbing Kilimanjaro on December 27, funded by ourselves, to raise funds for the Irish Kidney Association,” said Pat.
There is limited availability for the Gap of Dunloe walk and tickets must be pre-booked; contact Pat on 087-6856930 or Theresa Looney on 087-2059205.

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.”
