Local Councillor Gerard Fogarty reports:
Thurles Order of Malta will be holding a scrap metal collection as part of their fund raising campaign for the final phase of their current new building project.
The collection will take place this weekend, Friday 24th and Saturday 25th May from 12pm-6pm. The drop-off point is at the Order of Malta headquarters, situated at Bohernavroom, Borroway, Thurles.
If you want scrap collected please contact: Joe at Telephone – 0864137272 or Pierce at Telephone – 0872024517, or simply email thurles@orderofmalta.ie.
All scrap metal welcome including: copper, old gates, old doors, aluminium etc.
Please remember no electrical items, i.e. Fridges, Washing Machines etc, as latter are not acceptable for this project.
All proceeds from this fund raising event will go to finance the final phase of the Thurles Order of Malta building project.
So please do support this very important and worthy local project and make a little extra space in that garden shed or garage.
George. What exactly has the order of Malta to do with Thurles. This is the first time any one here from Thurles has heard of such an order. ‘Who is funding this order and what does this order do financially or otherwise for Thurles.
Love to know.
They provide first aid, free ambulance service often when needed, first aid to local community games and music concerts and voluntary first aid training courses to the greater Thurles area and Mid-Tipperary.
George. Sounds great. I will pass on this information. We had a lovely family join our association last week. There daughter is married to one of our own from Dublin and her parents are from Germany. We are gradually building our numbers up.
