NEWS
The next outing of Beara Historical Society is to Kenmare on Sunday 25th July. Local historian, Donal Slater, will conduct a walk of Kenmare and tell us about the town's history.
We meet up at the Square in Kenmare at 3pm. It takes about an hour to get to Kenmare from Castletownbere, Eyeries etc.
Where possible members should contact each other beforehand and arrange their own transport so that we do not have half empty cars travelling.
Looking forward to a fine day and an interesting outing. Connie Murphy (Chairman) ____________________
