Pilgrimages to Medjugore

Borrisoleigh Active Social Club

Borrisoleigh Active Social Club were back on the road last week. They headed off by bus to the Chocolate Garden of Ireland and Rathwood Garden Centre in Carlow on Wednesday.  The weather was very kind which encouraged our members to buy a plant or 2 or 3. 
 
Some of our members took a class on chocolate mould making.  This was great fun and everyone enjoyed making their chocolate works of art. This finished up with everyone getting a homemade ice cream. Overall a great day was had by all and many thanks to our driver Eoin who was very patient with us. We are looking forward to the next trip which will hopefully be really soon.
 
Our June meeting takes place this Wed June 1st at 7pm in the Community Centre Borrisoleigh. We’ll have a guest speaker from Age Friendly Ireland.  

Family History query

 
John Connors of the Historical Society received an enquiry from Australia re this house. The person enquiring says it is where her ancestors hailed from and the photo was taken in the 1960’s. Does anyone recognise it or where it might have been? If you do you can contact John at borrishistory@gmail.com 

Guestbook entries

From time to time we get entries in our Guestbook from descendants of Irish emigrants from the area looking for information. Maybe some of our readers would be able to help with their queries?
