Post Marquee Weekend Update

Many thanks to the farmers (especially the elderly farmers) from Glenariffe and their family members and the general public who attended The Farm Families Health Check Van on Marquee Saturday in the hurling field. Overall, 70% attendance came from those with a farming background and this was appreciated by the DARD and Public Health Agency. Your support of this Oisín clg project was very much acknowledged by all.
Northern Ireland Hospice fundraising at Oisín Glenariffe v Cuchullians Dunloy Antrim All County Hurling League Match Sunday 14th July 2013 
Gate proceeds of £545.00 taken at the above match were donated to the NI Hospice by Oisín clg Glenariffe. £305.00 in donations was also collected by Una Crudden NI Hospice in the marquee event run by Friends of Glenariffe, over the same weekend in the club grounds. The Hospice in Belfast is no longer fit for purpose and the new build Somerton Hospice will be the hub of excellence in palliative education and research in N.Ireland.Oisín clg was pleased to support this worthy cause. A total of £850.00 was raised.
Juvenile Committee:  Cake & Bun Sale –  Many thanks to the mammies, grannies, aunties and even the daddies who baked buns, cakes, etc.  We raised £402.08 from this event, Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

The Farm Families Health Checks Programme

Oisín CLG are hosting The Farm Families Health Checks Programme.

ffhc-logoThis one stop mobile facility, offering free 10 – 15 minutes health assessments by qualified nurses is on Marquee Saturday 13th July 11am – 4pm in the hurling field. Leaflets will be distributed in the parish and details posted on the village and chapel notice boards prior to the event.

Although farmers and their families are the targeted audience the wider community will not be refused access. Following the past harsh winter, which impacted on many, especially farmers and their families, it is expected that this event will be well attended.
