Next Wednesday (March 5th) at 8PM at Teach Laighne on Humbert Street, the Tubbercurry Tidy Towns Group are requesting as many local citizens as possible to attend the public unveiling of the town's major new landscaping project for the next five years and beyond. This will be the best chance for locals to offer their opinion and keep abreast of the latest proposals. A professional landscaping designer has been hired to develop an overall planting vision for the town's future. The meeting will set in motion the planting of trees, shrubs, flowers and various other design features. Come along and bring a friend - this
will be an event for the entire community.

The Tidy Towns group thanks to a continuing excellent working relationship with FAS, have repainted the former graffiti covered wall on the site of the old signal box at Tubbercurry Railway Station. A local artist has designed and donated a large, hand-painted sign with an image of one the final freight trains to use the line in 1975. This graphic will remind motorists who travel along the Circular Road of the town’s former rail transport heritage, as well as clean-up a long neglected location. May even bring back a few childhood memories for many of the towns residents. The sign will be installed within the
coming weeks.

On going rejuvenation of various neglected spots around Tubbercurry is part and parcel of the Tidy Towns project. If citizens have any creative ideas to restore and brighten up certain locations around the town, highlight local history and culture, then the Tidy Towns group are always delighted with any input and suggestions.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved call  Thomas Sheridan at : 071-9186136

Sligo Senior football team played Galway last Sunday at rain drenched Kilcoyne Park, Tubbercurry. Great credit to both teams for fielding strong teams in an entertaining game which Galway won narrowly. This was the first round of the FBD League.

Tubbercurry Badminton Club – As mentioned in the last Newsletter (October 2006) the club were happy to inform members that on foot of representation within the club, the club was to play two nights per week. Opinion on this was sought and the greater number of members opted for Monday and Wednesday as the two nights. To date however, uptake has been very modest and with only two courts in use each night there was and expressed feeling that, in effect, the club was being split. With the New Year here now there is a necessity for action and after determining the hall availability in the January to April period, the committee decided to revert to one night per week during that period. Effective from Monday 8th January 2007 and each Monday thereafter, the Club will meet from 7.30pm – 10.30pm.

Local footballer, Rafael Cretaro has signed for Sligo Rovers after spending a year with Galway United. Along with our other local lad Gary Curran, Tubbercurry is certainly doing their bit for Rovers. Other South Sligo natives Michael Toolan (Chairman) and Oliver Davey (Events Manager) add to the Rovers set up and the South Sligo Supporters Club ensure Sligo soccer is well supported from this side of the county.

Over the years nearly €50,000 has been raised for local charities and this year’s event was again well supported. Nearly €2,000 was raised for local charity.

Tubbercurry Badmin-ton club - Due to popular demand, Tubbercurry Badminton club has added a second club night to its schedule. Please note that the new club nights are as follows: Monday night 8-10pm and Wednesday night 8.00 to 10.00pm. The Tuesday session no longer is in operation.

Laura Gillespie, twelve year old daughter of John and Mary also played in Croke Park last Sunday as she was chosen on one of the teams of mini games played during the interval of the All Ireland final. This was a great honour for Laura as she already plays on the county under twelve team along with club mate Caoimhe Gallagher.
