As everyone knows this is the year of the Gathering. Are we in Frenchpark going to organise an event?. Is there anyone with any ideas of what we could do or more importantly anyone interested in putting on an event.. August bank holiday weekend was always typically a festival weekend here in Frenchpark with Parades, Football, Activities of all sort.. football, dog shows, sports day.. beat on the street… Entertainment in the pubs, pub crawls.. the brilliant Car Treasure Hunt… to name but a few. Could we revive it for one memorable year…!! I think we should. Roll out that old film archive of the village one night perhaps. Lets get our thinking caps on. Get some community spirit going…. COME ON WE CAN DO IT!!!
Hello…speaking of the Gathering, I’m looking for a Nancy Torsney Dowd who is or was cousin to my mother, Josephine Farrell RIP. Is there a town website where I could check? My sister and I are planning a visit to the area next month and hope to visit your lovely village.
I have replied to you personally regarding this .. thanks for taking the time to check out the site.
Hi, there are some people who are into the history/genealogy of the area. I could try and find someone who knows more. If I do I’ll get back to you. E-mail me through my web-site: http://www.blackholestudio.ie and I’ll keep in touch that way. Looking forward to your visit!
