Joseph Burke Memorial Walks
The Joseph Burke heritage trail walks are taking place on Saturday 1st July from the Marlfield Hurling Club grounds with 2 different walks. The Marlfield forest walk is in the woods two kilometres west of Marlfield Village and the heritage trail walk is in the village from St Patricks Chapel through the village via the roundabout to st Patrick’s Well along the pondside. The assembly point for both walks is in the Marlfield Club Grounds which has adequate off road parking for cars. The walks commence at 2pm with bus transport to the start of the different walks and a pick up for the return. Please dress appropriately for the two different types of walks as stout footwear is advised for the forest trails walk. When back at the Marlfield Hurling Club Clubhouse after the walks, the village committee will be serving tea /scones /brack and apple tart for the hungry walkers. There is no charge for this event which is a co-operative effort between Tipperary Co. Council and Marlfield Village Association
Village work teams
We have finished the clean up on the pondside and it is looking very good. Nine fit and eager volunteers made short work of the accumulated leaf mould, weeds, branches and general muck along the walls and the parking bay. The next area on the list is the Loughtally road section which will need similar treatment to both road verges and the footpaths. Monday evening is the work night and we ask volunteers to bring their own hi vis vest, shovel or brush, or clippers and a pair of garden gloves. It is a most enjoyable hour or two working with your neighbours for the good of the little village and the results are immediately visible. More details on our work night from Noel Buckley, Teddy Lee, Kathleen Hogg and Bernie Lennon.
