Some Pres. Old Girls

Kay Caball and Maura Grimes met up at the recent Active Over 50s show in Killarney. They had lots of old memories to share about their time in Pres. Listowel.

Kay and I have embarked on a project to collect memories of Presentation Convent and Schools in Listowel. We are looking for photographs and stories from old girls or anyone else who remembers the Pres. presence.

Jean Kiely O'Leary is organizing a reunion of her classmates from 1965 for June 27th in The Listowel Arms. She is anxious to make contact with as many of her old class as she can. If you do not have Jean's contact details you can email me and I'll put you in touch. Below are two photographs Jean sent me to help jog your memories.

Wreath Laying

A line of wreaths, a moving tribute.

The buzz of the helicopter was heard. Everyone looked up and cheered as the Irish Coast Guard chopper flew round the square, a symbol of modern day heroes who guard our waters.

Telethon in Pres 2007

A no uniform telethon fundraiser in Pres. Listowel . Were you there?

<<<<<<

Kingdom County Fair 2015

Unless the organizers do something drastic to revive interest in the baking and craft classes at next year's show, I think it is time to abandon these classes. While there was some lovely work on display, in many classes there was only one or two entrants. To enter was to win even though the product was well short of show standard.
