Graiguenamanagh Tidy Towns
As outlined a few weeks ago in the Bulletin, and on Facebook, GTT will proceed with G/T Jackpot, ( Graiguenamanagh/Tinnahinch Jackpot ), to raise funds for Tidy Towns Projects and to assist in the funding of other benevolent clubs/groups organisations working to improve/enhance the town or the quality of peoples’ lives who live and work here.GTT has applied for a District Court licence and hope to be up and running for June. With G/T Jackpot there will be a weekly Jackpot with smaller consolation prizes. The largest jackpot raised within the month will be split between the individual winner and a club/organisation as above. For example, for the month of June, the largest weekly jackpot raised of the four weeks, will be split between the individual winner and a committee such as Calvary Cemetery Committee. The remaining Jackpots of the month will be divided between the winners and GTT. This will fund GTT projects and the ongoing maintenance and presentation of the town. In this way money raised through G/Jackpot, effectively the peoples’ own money will be spread evenly throughout the community with many benevolent clubs/groups/organisations benefitting. Specific emphasis will be placed on improving/enhancing the entire town.If we are up and ready for June, for the first few months, the following beneficiaries of G/T Jackpot will be proposed at our AGM as follows.
1/. Calvary Cemetery Committee June2/. St. Michaels Cemetery Committee July3/. Gahan Home. August
GTT will hold its AGM on Tuesday 25th April in the Scout Hall. At this meeting, the committee will review progress, outline on-going projects and plan for the future. Any club/group or organisation, including those above that are benevolent in nature that perhaps do not have a funding stream of their own and are working to improve/enhance the town or the lives of the community must attend at the AGM to register their interest in benefitting from G/T Jackpot.
GTT hopes, this year, there will be a good turnout of the town’s business interests at the AGM to enable us to enter the annual SuperValu sponsored Tidy Towns Competition. In particular the town’s businesses, as well as the entire community benefit if there is a strong and active effort made to enhance/improve the town for everyone.

Stewards urgently needed for the Wexford V Tipperary League game in Nowlan Park on Sunday. If interested please contact Jerry Cosgrove or Thomas Holden ASAP.First Aid: We ran a First aid course attended by 12 of our coaches and the 2nd part of it, on the defibrillator goes ahead on Good Friday in the Clubrooms @ 6.30pm.
PS: Kilkenny play Wexford in the Championship in Wexford Park on the 10th June. This is sure to be a sell-out game; tickets will be distributed through the Clubs on first come basis, so if you are interested in going it would be advisable to have your membership paid up as soon as possible.
New stand : Works will commence on the 2nd phase of our spectator stands in the coming weeks. Two centre piece sections with two new team dugouts on either end will be added to our existing stands. We hope to have all works completed by mid-May in time for the U14 Feile 2017. This will be another significant cost to the Club and we would appreciate your support with all upcoming fundraisers.

Duiske College Accommodation Panel
Duiske College is currently taking contact details that can be given to Adult Education students who need to live in Graiguenamanagh while doing our Adult Education courses. More and more people are coming to Graiguenamanagh to take our courses and we are regularly asked about accommodation locally. Therefore, we hope to establish a panel of contact details from which the students can choose the accommodation that will best suit them.
Please be aware of the following:
Students may range in age from 17 years upwards, both male and female. Students are in Graig for the school year (September to June, with school holidays). Some students may only need 3 nights’ accommodation per week (Arrive on Monday, and
leave on Thursday). Duiske College will simply pass on the contact details to the student and all arrangements
are made between the student and the owner of the accommodation. Duiske College will not know the students before the academic year starts and therefore
we cannot be held responsible for the actions of any student. Putting your contact details on the panel list does not guarantee that a student will
choose your accommodation.
If you are interested in adding your contact details to our panel, please complete the form on the next page.
This form is also available on our website http://www.duiskecollege.ie/adult-education/application-form-further-education/
and can be emailed to [email protected]
Thank you.
