Tidy Towns Clean-up Day - Saturday, 23rd February 2019
Well done and thank you to everyone who helped with Saturday's clean-up and who helped in the organisation.
It is thanks to the organisation in advance of days like this that so much can be achieved in a few hours work. Thank you to Fr. Patrick and his team who moved the pots of dead plants at the gate of the school earlier in the week and contacted the council about cleaning the bottle banks. To Westmeath County Council who cleaned the bottle bank. Thanks to Joe Potter and Damian Duffy from Collinstown Tidy Towns who organised herbs, flowers and wild-flower seeds for planting today. Thank you to Bill Connell and Crann for the oak saplings that are now in front of the school. And finally thanks to Collinstown Action Group Committee for spreading the word to try and get volunteers out to help.
Most importantly a massive thank you to everyone who came out today to clean up; great work done by all. Joe Potter, Joe McNally, Martin Griffith and Connie, Damian and Mary Duffy and girls, Lenore Kennedy with Kian and Reanna, Carmel Murray with Evan, Tommie Fagan and Patrick Dempsey. We picked rubbish, planted three oak saplings, planted a small wild-flower patch, planted a herb box, planted some pots for beside the school gate, swept paths and had a lovely morning working together to get it all done.
