SCHULL COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS TO PRESENT ‘OLIVER! “Consider Yourself" part of
the family and come see Schull Community College’s production of the beloved musical favourite
“Oliver!” on Thursday, December 19th at 7.20pm in Schull Community College Sports Hall. A talented
cast of over fifty Transition Year students have been rehearsing diligently since October preparing for
this production. Based on the timeless Charles Dickens tale “Oliver Twist”, the show vividly brings to
life the well known story of the young runaway orphan and his search for family and love. Along the
way, he meets the colourful Artful Dodger, the infamous thief Fagin and his gang of pickpockets, the
evil and sinister Bill Sykes, the nurturing and lovable Nancy and a host of other memorable Dickens
characters. Through classic songs including “Food Glorious Food”, “Oliver”, “Consider Yourself”, "As
Long As He Needs Me," "Where is Love?", "You Gotta Pick a Pocket?" and many more, “Oliver!” tells
the story of how love triumphs over heartbreak and adversity. The play is appropriate for audiences of
all ages and is sure to become a family favourite. Prior to the main show, the College’s first year students will add a festive atmosphere to the night with their interpretation of ‘The Nutcracker’. Doors
open at 6.45pm and the show will start at 7.20pm. Family rates will be available at the door. All are
welcome to come along and enjoy what promises to be a spectacular production of “Oliver!” in Schull
Community College this Christmas.
Mizen Rovers Road Safety Award - On Wednesday of last week members of the Club, Connie
O’Driscoll, Tim Sheehan, Anne Murnane and Mary Hayes travelled to Farmleigh House in Dublin
where the 'Leading Lights' in Road Safety Awards ceremony took place. This is an event held annually by the Road Safety Authority to recognise and honour communities, schools, businesses and individuals who are active in promoting road safety in their areas which in turn helps to prevent death and
injury on our roads. Mizen Rovers were chosen as NATIONAL award winners in the 'community' category and were highly commended by the judging panel and by Gay Byrne, Chairman of the RSA, for a
number of indicatives put in place over the last few years to raise awareness amongst our players of
the importance of staying safe while travelling. They were particularly interested in using some aspects of our road safety model to interact with the GAA countrywide to encourage all clubs to engage
and be more proactive in road safety. This award was a great honour for our Club. We thank Aislinn
for nominating us and we as a group were very proud to be there to represent Mizen Rovers, its players and the community in the Parish of Goleen without whose support none of this would be possible.

THE BIKE--News of the Mizen Rovers BIKE has gone countrywide with 'catcalls' now coming from
all over West Cork. They can see no reason why they can’t enter the draw for this lovely black &
amber 141C machine (helmet included) but none of them want a crossbar on it. Strange.........but
maybe that will become apparent later!!! Please, we need to keep this Bike local for many reasons
so get your tickets as soon as possible from Anne Murnane or Maura O’Reilly or any club officer. Tis
looking well in O’Meara’s Christmas window and they have tickets too. Many other prizes also on
offer when we come to give that bike away. The 9th prize is a tin of Cat Food (chicken in jelly flavour)!!! Calendars-- The 2014 edition of the very popular Club calendar is printed and is available
locally now. Get your copy, it contains some great photos from the season just past of all age
groups which makes it a nice collector’s item. Same two will tell you about it. Minor Team--- Representatives of the Mizen Rovers County winning minor team, players and mentors, were invited to
the Rochestown Park Hotel, on Tues Dec 17th to receive their medals at a Rebel Og function. All
county winning teams were honoured on the night and it’s another little bit of history in the making
for our Club as they lined up amongst the elite of the County at underage. More details next week or

SERVING THE MIZEN PENINSULA
VOL: 6 WEEK 51 DEC 19 2013 Published every Thursday.
GOLEEN CELEBRATES SENIOR ALL IRELAND MEDAL WINNER News of a Senior All Ireland winner with strong Goleen connections is being warmly welcomed. Malcolm Goggin, Gort na Carriga, Goleen,
a son of Michael Goggin, Crookhaven won this prestigious honour recently. This Senior All Ireland medal
win in the Track Cycling Championships at the National Cycling Velodrome in Crumlin, Dublin was in addition to Malcolm coming 4th in the Leinster Championships while competing with Bray Wheelers. Malcolm is
planning to spend the winter months competing in the UK track season with weekend sorties to Manchester, Newport, London and Glasgow where he has raced for many years. When being interviewed, Malcolm
quoted training on the tough roads of the Mizen Peninsula as a key factor in this year's competitiveness. It
is also worth noting that Malcolm has never forgotten his family roots in Goleen and has always offered to
help the Goleen Community in any way he can on numerous occasions down through the years. The Goleen Community and beyond wish him every success in the future.
CHRISTMAS THANK YOU Always at this time of year people give a simple, but lovely gesture to
those who have helped them out during the year. It says somewhere in the bible who came back and
said thank you. This is what our Community Council are going to do. We simply say thank you to all,
who in any way, helped up out in the past 12 months. It has been a hugely successful 12 months,
increasing our employees, starting our new social centre, working on new projects; all of which makes
this one of the most successful community organisations in the country, which has been acknowledged by many independent voices in past and recent times. This is not down to any one person, but
firstly our 16 community councillors, who give of their time freely to make sure the lives of others are
improved in this and neighbouring communities. Many of these community councillors work away quietly, but get the business done. Also our diligent work force, who have shown how work should be
done in a respectful manner. Then of course the main ingredient, you, the public, who have stood
with us this year and other years in every way that is possible. In some small way to say thank you
Goleen & District Community Council will hold a Christmas Party on Sunday night December 29th. in
Goleen Community Centre. All those who have helped us during the year are welcome to attend. For
purchase of food purposes, we would ask if you could let the community councillor in your area know if
you can make it. You can also text or ring 0863174606 if you're able to make it. As part of the night's
entertainment you are invited to the Lobster Pot Bar where an 80s disco will take place. When that's
finished, the party moves to the Community Centre, where all are invited to continue the night of music.

PRESS RELEASE Have a Little Get Together this Little Christmas. Nollaig na
mBan, or Women’s Little Christmas, is an old Irish tradition celebrated on January
6th each year, originally created as a day where women get together and let their
hair down after the stress of the Christmas season. This year The National Breast
Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI) are asking women all over the country to come
together on January 6th by hosting a local event in support of breast cancer research. Whether it’s a coffee morning or an afternoon tea party at home or in the
workplace, a fun quiz night or fancy dress at the local pub or club, it’s a great
chance catch up and celebrate the wonderful women in your life while raising funds
and support for a great cause. Based at NUIG, The National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI) is a national organisation with a key objective, to conduct
ethical research into the biology of breast cancer in order to improve treatments and
medication to combat it. Unfortunately, 1 in 10 Irish women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and without research there will never be a cure. The research
carried out by the team at NBCRI can greatly improve the outcomes of breast cancer for women not only in Ireland but worldwide. So why not support breast cancer
research and have a little get together this little Christmas by hosting your own
‘Nollaig na mBan’. To find out more and to get some great ideas for your event,
visit: www.nollaignamban.com or contact NBCRI directly by calling 091 543 433
