The Erris Branch of the Irish Wheelchair Association travelled to Dublin on the 16th of May for the national AGM and conference of the IWA. While there Erris Branch were delighted to be chosen as National Branch of the Year. The Branch has been in existence since 1982 and service Coordinator Rosaleen Lally said that this award is in a testimony to all the great work done by the branch over the years. I think about the people who started the Erris Branch back in 1982 when there was very litt le or no funding available, volunteers gave freely of their t ime to insure that people with disabilit ies in Erris were give equal rights and opportunities.The Branch has grown from strength to strength and working closely with the Centre staff have supported the building of the new Resource and Outreach Centre in Belmullet.The branch also support the centre with respite holidays for Members, social outings and activit ies in the centre.Rosaleen Lally says it is wonderful to be acknowledged on a national level for the work being done in Erris, IWA have 57 centres all over the country with over 2500 staff working in direct services, it is great to see the national award coming to Erris and well deserved. Volunteers are the back bone of the organisation nationally and locally and this award is belong to everyone who has volunteered in the past and who continue to support

Belmullet Tidy Towns Western Care Community Garden Tucked away modestly at the end of Fr Mulhern Crescent is an amazing project that Western Care and Belmullet Tidy Towns have been jointly developing this past few months. The project started in 2014, when we were approached by Anne and Carmel from Western Care to see if there was a small undertaking that would be suitable as a shared project. It was at this point that Patricia McAndrew became involved and the result was the wonderful herb garden on Church Road. We felt that this fulf il led the brief and both Tidy Towns and Western Care were delighted with our much admired herb garden. But in 2015 the project developed even further. Western Care secured funding for a tunnel in the grounds of their residence. With Patricia and Eva heading up the project and with help from the very enthusiastic Western Care service users and some volunteers it grew and grew (pardon the pun!) and the result is an abundance of plants and f lowers (in excess of 3,000!)of a huge variety which are now ready to plant out ? an amazing achievement. With all this going on, Patricia also found time to deliver gardening classes ? which we hope will become an annual feature on our Tidy Towns calendar. This would never have been possible without the init ial idea from Western Care, the keen interest of the service users who are always eager to help out with maintenance and watering, and most especially without the hard work and enthusiasm of Patricia who has given so much of her time and expertise to this project. We, Belmullet Tidy Towns, are delighted to be associated with such a wonderful project.

A Tribute to Noel from Belmullet Tidy TownsNoel was chairman of Tidy Towns for almost 30 years. One of our f irst projects was to level and plant the canal banks. Before that he would cut the grass on the bumpy uneven surface with a push lawnmower. That was Noel - problems were seen as challenges, not obstacles.He loved the town and everything about it and wanted it to be the best that it could be. He would be so overjoyed at every award we won, every milestone we reached, every dif f iculty we overcame, every assistance that was offered to us, every positive comment made by visitors. He never stopped ? planning, preparing, improving, upgrading, lobbying, coming back from holidays with ideas and always ready to get stuck in to any task himself .He was straight-spoken, hardworking and always generous. He did so much and yet there was so much more that he wanted to do. He had the respect and admiration of all who worked with him and we hope we will do him proud in the future. But we will miss him.We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his grieving family.Noel, ní bheidh do leithéid ann arís. Ar dheis Dé go raibh d?anam caomh dílis.

Noel with An Taoiseach Enda Kenny in Áras Inis Gluaire, September 2014, at the launch of the Edward Ardizzone exhibition - yet another project to which Noel contributed greatly.

Northwest S P C A Erris BranchHi everyone. We have just f inished our church gate collections in Erris for this year, and again we must thank you all for a great response, and can we give a special thanks to all our collectors. We have collected badly needed funds for animals in distress and who need to be re-homed. We are always in need of volunteers and you only do what can do. Remember, if you know or hear of any animal who needs help or for anyone who no longer can care or feed

their animal, help is is just a phone call away, we might need a bit of t ime, but we will respond. As well as our shop on Pearse St Ballina, we also have a shop on Linenhall St in Castlebar, and they will except all kinds of things that they will sell in the shops, from spoons to spin dryers, and all proceeds go to help the animals. Contact number, Christine 087 2956201

Eircode is the new postcode system for Ireland. Eircode will be launched in June 2015, a letter will be sent to all addresses in County Mayo notifying them of the Eircode which will be unique for that address.  Your address does not change, you simply include the Eircode at the bottom of your address.  There are many benefits to using Eircode, including making it quicker and easier for medical emergency services and others to locate addresses.  It is safe to give an Eircode to anyone you would normally give your address to.  The Eircode Community Outreach Programme involves local organisations and volunteers inCounty Mayo in helping reach out to various groups particularly older people living alonewho may need further information on Eircode. The programme is committed to ensuring that the target group are reached through people that they already know and trust and are well-placed to advise them.Caroline Wilson, the Eircode Outreach Champion for County Mayo is leading efforts across the county and would be delighted to hear from people who are interested in the programme for themselves, or who may help to identify people in their area who might need assistance.Caroline Wilson can be contacted at wcaroline79@gmail.com.

Belmullet Foróige Club - Our First YearBelmullet Foróige Club was established in October 2014 by staff of Iorras Le Chéile Community Development Project. It is now run by a group of adult volunteers/ Club leaders. We currently have 7 leaders and 32 members at the club. Members are aged between 12 and 15 years and are from all over the Erris area. We meet every Friday evening from 6pm-7.30pm in the Belmullet Sports Complex. As part of the club we do various activit ies such as sports, games, movie nights and quizzes. The club has a committee made up of elected members all with specif ic roles to help with the running of the club. The committee discusses upcoming events and club plans, as well as f inance and projects. The club runs alongside the academic year and we have now f inished up for the summer holidays but we will be recruiting new members and leaders for September.Over the last few months we have been very busy. We attended Foroige discos hosted by nearby clubs where we got to meet other clubs in the county and lots of new people. We went bowling at Gateway Leisure, attended movie nights in Iorras Le Chéile and had a Christmas party. We also entered Foróiges Got Talent which was hosted in Knockmore. Our club entered a 6 piece singing act named ?The Bellettes?. One of our biggest activit ies was planning and hosting our own club disco in April at the Haven Night Club. Seven clubs attended the disco and we all had a great night!We have recently gotten involved in some community projects with Belmullet Tidy Towns and hope to continue working with them in September. We went out on a clean-up with them before the club f inished and also began to build a Bug Hotel. We hope to enter this project into the Foróige Youth Citizenship Awards. We would like to get involved in more community projects next year.In order to run the club we need to raise funds; we pay ?2 membership

each week which helps with costs. We also held a church gate collection in December and recently done bag packing at local shops to fundraise. We are really grateful to all the people who supported us.We are attending Foroige?s BIGGEST event of the year on 27th June - Band on the Strand down in Lacken. We can also bring our friends to this event as part of Foróige?s buddy system so there will be over 40 of us attending with several other clubs across the country. The club has allowed us to meet lots of new people and we have made lots of new friendships. Attending the club each week means we have some where to meet, we can learn new skills, have fun and get involved in our community.If you would like to join the club or you are an adult interested in volunteering contact Leanne on 086-3313882.

Keep an Eye on History

Downpatrick Head caught on a postcard in 1910, Postcard kindly passed to us by Mary Caulfield & recent photo by Arthur O'Donnell.

Downpatrick Head Sitting majestically in the wild Atlantic Ocean, Downpatrick Head is an area of unrivalled coastal beauty and historical importance?Just a few miles north of Ballycastle vil lage, County Mayo, is the the windswept outcrop of Downpatrick Head. This is the perfect place to park up and stretch your legs with an invigorating coastal walk.The name Downpatrick is derived from a time when St Patrick himself founded a church here. You can stil l see the ruins of the church building, a stone cross and holy well here today. This was once a popular pilgrim destination, and today the crowds stil l gather here on the last Sunday of July ? known as Garland Sunday ? to hear mass at this sacred site.The St Patrick connections don?t end there though. Gazing out to sea, you?ll no doubt spot the small collection of islands called the Staggs of Broadhaven, but you?ll also see a lone sea-stack standing close to the edge of the clif fs. This sea-stack is called Dún Briste (broken fort). Local legend says that when a pagan chieftain refused to convert to Christianity, St Patrick struck the ground with his crozier, splitt ing a chunk of the headland off into the ocean, with the chieftain on top! The sea stack is beautiful to behold because you can see the layers upon layers of multi-coloured rock strata.Fast-forward through the centuries and Downpatrick Head became a lookout post during WWII. You can stil l see the stone building there today. Another intrigue of the area is Poll Na Seantainne: this is a spectacular blowhole that plummets down to the tempestuous ocean below.

Junior Entrepreneur ProgrammeThe Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) is a 10 week entrepreneurial education programme for primary school pupils. This innovative programme opens the minds of primary school pupils to the joy of entrepreneurship at a time in their l ives when they are full of imagination and open to new possibil it ies. The programme helps participating pupils to develop a number of skil ls including literacy, writ ing, presentation, drawing, technology, research skills, numeracy, f inancial, consumer awareness, storytell ing, l istening skills, creative thinking, problem solving, team building and collaboration skil ls.The senior pupils with members of the special class of Glencastle N.S. recently participated in this project. This involved us the pupils exploring the world of entrepreneurship. We had to research various entrepreneurs around the world and in the local community. We invited local entrepreneur Ms Christine Gillard founder of ?Mariko Sparkling Green Tea?, to our classroom to learn about the world of business and entrepreneurship through the eyes of an experienced and successful business person. From interviewing Christine we gained a valuable insight into the business world and we thank her for taking the time to visit us.

We came up with various business ideas which we pitched to a panel of Dragons whom included Ms Christine Gillard (local entrepreneur), Ms L Carolan & Mr W Sullivan. ?Loom It? was the successful business idea that was chosen as the class project. The next few weeks were busy making loom band pencil and pen grips as well as loom band bracelets for sale. We sold our products in Carey?s Newsagents and Bookstore (A big thank you to Lorraine & staff for selling our product), and at our showcase event in our School Hall. Our products ?f lew of the shelf? we were amazed they sold so well. We learned that our research and marketing of the product paid off . At the end of the 10 week programme we attended the County Showcase event with 16 other schools from Mayo who partook in the programme. CMS distribution are the sponsors of this event in Mayo. At the county showcase event Managing Director of CMS Distribution Mr Frank Salmon gave us an insight into how he became a successful entrepreneur. He told us that ?honesty and good old fashioned hard work are essential to succeed. Our class teacher Ms Ruddy was presented with a plaque and a JEP Flag for our school.The prof it raised from our ?Loom It? business project part funded our adventure trip to Dublin City on the 21st of May last. We had a super day out, we visited

the GPO, Dáil Eireann, The National Museum of Ireland ? Archaeology, and the best t il l last A Viking Splash Tour around Dublin City where we were like true Vikings!

Erris Beo has been approached and requested to create a weekly information leaf let on what is on in Erris for our visitors and locals alike. This is a pilot project and we hope to work with a number of businesses in Erris to act as information points from where these leaf lets would be available. Details are as follows:· The leaf let will be updated weekly· Information must be provided one week in advance

· We have planned brief ly that the information will be received on Monday, the leaf lets would go to print on a Wednesday and f inally, distributed on the Friday. · Any business in the area may promote any upcoming events for the week on the brochure regardless of how big or small. Again this is a pilot project so any ideas or thoughts on the leaf let are more then welcome and encouraged. We would like to get this project up and running as soon as possible as so to be able to provide it to our tourists as well as the locals. If you would like to be included in the leaf let please contact Ashley Mahon at Erris Beo, 097 82292.
