We used to hold coffee mornings in the past for our residents so we are delighted to annouce that we are starting them up again, and are holding one in a few weeks time. It will be held in The Goat on Thursday 30th Jan, 10:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. and we welcome all residents. We are also extending the invitation to our neighbours in Taney Area Residents’ Association. 

The last one we had was just before Covid, in November 2019. Looking forward to seeing you on January 30th.

We’re having an in-person, on-the-Green, Coffee Morning this year on Saturday 21st September. That’s tomorrow week. From 10:00am to 12:00pm down on our beautifully landscaped Green.

We hope you can all come along for tea, coffee, nibbles and a chat. We’d love to see you there. Bring some money for the collection bucket!

If you can’t make it in person, we’ve set up an online payment facility so you can donate online. You can do that below. All donations are very gratefully received by the Hospices. The final amount will also be topped-up by the Residents’ Association, as is always the case each year.

(This collection is now ended.)

Update: This collection has now closed. We raised an incredible €1,750, and the Association will top that up by €250. So the final total is €2,000 to go to this very worthy cause. Thanks to everyone who donated.

The slightly older boys and girls who would normally be attending our Neighbourhood Friendly Coffee Mornings got a special Christmas surprise from the Residents’ Association this year. A small gift of a lovely plant, box of chocs and DLRCoCo magazine was dropped into the houses of our more senior residents before Christmas. Hopefully 2021 will see the return of the coffee mornings.

The Neighbourhood Friendly people are organising another seniors’ coffee morning for next Thursday (14th November) at 10am. This is being held in conjunction with Taney Area Residents’ Association. The location this time is Sam’s Diner down at the shops. Hope to see you there for some scones and conversation.

Roebuck Residents’ Association and Taney Area Residents’ Association held their first joint coffee morning for the young at heart in The Goat, on Wednesday 27th February at 10am.

There was a great turnout for this event on a lovely sunny spring morning. There was plenty of chat, and thanks to Con Carroll of Mount Carmel Road for bringing along his pictures of the floods in Roebuck Park in 1963.

There was also discussion in relation to a regular morning book club. If you would like to be included in updates on this please let us know.

This event was kindly sponsored by Spark Change.
