MOUNT TEMPLE BAYLIN COMMUNITY NOTES

We welcome you to our first ever newsletter, which will be published every month in hard copy print and distributed free throughout this corner of Westmeath!

There is also a new Facebook page and we will be linking up with the local newspapers so that the information we gather here will be available to as many as possible through both digital media and print.

The idea is quite simple. We hope to gather as much information about upcoming events, news and contact details so that anyone who may be interested might be well informed of what happened recently and also what is coming up in the month ahead.

There will also be articles and interviews with those who are very familiar with the story of Mount Temple and Baylin so that we all come to know a little more about the geographical, cultural and historical life of the area.

This is an open door production so we welcome all of you children and adults who might be interested in helping out in any way or contributing a piece so that if you have a story to tell or indeed you would like to promote some upcoming event, we encourage you to get in touch and we would be delighted to work with you to get the information out there….

So..…all aboard as we set sail…..the more the merrier…..!
