Sneem International Storytelling Festival 2014
Sneem International Storytelling and Folklore Festival 2014
This year’s Festival was very well s upported by so many people. Firstly we would
like to thank our sponsors Failte Ireland who have f unded us f or the last three
years. We would also like to thank the publicans for their support throughout the
Festival with the use of their premises; our wonderf ul volunteers without whom we
couldn’t even have held the Festival; and Sneem Hotel and all its staff who have
been there f rom the very beginning.
This year’s structure was similar to previous years. There was: Telling in the Barn,
Lectures, Children’s Workshops, Tours and Story-swaps. This year we had our
storytelling concert on the Friday, our tellers were Mike Mazur f rom USA, Michael
Harv ey f rom Wales, Nuala Hayes - Dublin, Pat Speight and Teddy Black f rom
Cork, Sonny Egan and Batt Burns f rom Kerry. The music was provided by the
Sliabh Luachra musicians who delighted the audience with a number of reels, jigs
and slides.
The Children’s workshops were again very popular and well attended and the talented storytellers kept the children mesmerised with their tales, Pat Speight even
taught them how to make a chicken out of a tea towel!
This year’s Radio Kerry show had Batt on the phone and our international tellers
Mike Mazur and Micheal Harv ey who were joined by two of our Young Tellers at
the Killarney studios.
Talking of our Young Tellers there were seven this year and they never f ailed to
amaze us with their talent and conf idence at the mic.
Later that evening we had the f abulous “Tom Crean – Antarctic Explorer” show
written and performed by Aidan Dooley, this was very well attended. Aidan Dooley
brings to lif e Tom Crean in a one man play. We hav e been t rying to get this show
here f or the past two years and we f inally managed to f ind a gap in Aidan’s schedule which coincided with our f estival. Some of us had seen the show before and
knew how brilliant Aidan and his show was, but those new to the show were so
enthralled by his performance that at the end erupted into a spontaneous standing ovation.
We would like to thank Eoin Shaw for his help on the lights - he did a great job
with both the storytelling gala and Tom Crean. Kate Jonas and Tim O’S ullivan
must also be thanked f or their contribution to the stage dressing and room set up.
Afterwards the pub trail got under way and the pubs had good audiences for their
tellers who all f inished up in Sneem House. When I lef t they were still telling stories at 1.30am.
On Saturday we had a call f rom TG4 who wanted to come on Sunday to f ilm our
f estival for their Naucht programme section Voice of the Community which was
aired last Sunday the 16th November at 7pm.
We are so proud of the quality of the f estival which we were able to present and so
gratef ul for all the support we were given f rom all directions

Reellife Sci ence.
We are thrilled to have come
second in the country in the
“Reellif e Science” competition.
“Reellif e Science” is a science
video competition for Irish primary and secondary schools
and was set up by NUI Galway.
The initial judging of the videos
is carried out by 42 members of
staff and students at NUI Galway. This year’s shortlisted videos were then judged by Prof essor Stephen Curry, Prof essor of Structural Biology at Imperial College London
and science writer with The Guardian, Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin and BT Young
Scientist Paul Clarke. Last year’s winning videos received hits f rom over 60 countries. You can view ours on www.reellif escience.com or on YouTube under
ChemKids or Scoil Eoin. We are looking forward to our cheque f or €300 and we
have great plans for spending it!
Cycling Workshop
We recently completed a Saf er
Cycling Workshop, which was very
enjoyable and very inf ormative.
The most exciting part was departing the school, cycling to the pier,
having a snack and making it saf ely home again. We look f orward to
more excursions on our bikes
when the weather permits.
Rockart Exploration
We are eager to discover our past and
also our locality and our recent trip to the
Derrynablaha site advanced both of these
wishes. Rosemary Cussen was our expert
guide in prehistoric local art and we had
an excellent outing to examine these wonderf ul artef acts which are so amazing. It
was a very enjoyable and active day f or
all!

Out and about in Blackwater
While discovering our locality we made an early morning trip to Blackwater Pier.
The scene was magical as the early mist was rising and the tide was going out.
Our guide was Stephanie O’Toole and we were kept busy collecting and identif ying species and observing nature at its best. We had a lovely lunch on the pier
before getting back on the bus to go to the Blackwater River. We had a lovely
walk along the riverbank and did some water sampling in a shallow area. We
were amazed by the cascade, the width of the river and the speed of the water.
Congratulations
Well done to Gearóid, Eibhlin and LiQin
who were winners in the Sherkin Island Environmental Art Competition.
Well done to Melanie, Enya, Jasmine and
LiQin who have had great success in Irish
dancing lately. Well done girls!
Swimming
We have started swimming lessons at the Parknasilla pool and we are very gratef ul to have this opportunity. We look forward to improving our strokes, becoming
conf ident swimmers and enjoying our local seas.
Filming
We are busy creating and making a f ilm at present. Éanna de Buis is a f ilmmaker
and presently employed by Kerry Co. Council. He will guide us in the various aspects of f ilmmaking. We are so excited about our f ilm.

In conjunction with The Social and Health Education Project intend running a
course in Managing Stress in our Daily Lives early in 2015.
The Course Structure
This course off ers people a chance both to understand their own stress better
and to f ind ways to break the cycle of stress and set up a cycle of wellness instead.
The course normally involves ten weekly two-hour sessions. Th ere are u sually
about fourteen participants in the group, with a trained f acilitator. The atmosphere
is informal and f un – laughter being one of the greatest de-stressors. We do a lot
of relaxation and some simple movement, so wear loose comfortable clothes.
There will be time for lots of discussion as well as inputs f rom the tutor.
What is Stress ?
In itself stress is neither good nor bad: it is just a natural body reaction that
evolved long ago to prepare our bodies to run away or f ight when we were attacked. The problem now is that in most stressf ul situations we can’t either run
away or f ight. The result is that we live much of our lives with our nerves on edge
and our bodies tense for action. Naturally, if we stay like that for long periods we
are bound to suff er ill eff ects. These may be of diff erent kinds.
Physical Effects
In the short term we may get things like pains and aches and indigestion. In the
long-term we may suff er f rom more serious illnesses, such as heart problems,
high blood pressure, digestion diseases, etc.
Effects on our Feelings and Thoughts
Not only have our bodies, our emotional lives too showed the eff ects of stress.
We can become cranky, irritable, listless, even “burnt out”, our ability to laugh and
enjoy lif e can disappear. Our ability to think clearly and set sensible limits can
suff er as well. All this of course adds to our stress.
Effects on our Rel ationships
Stressed people f ind it hard to relate well to others. They of ten are too stressed to
enjoy the world around them. Even their spiritual lives may suff er.
If you are interested in participating in this course, please contact Mary O’Callaghan or Máire in the off ice at 064 6675 879 or text Máire on mobile no. 086 158
1218.
This course is supported by Kerry Education & Training Board.

There was a good turn out on Thursday, 13th November f or Mark Collins’ talk
about southern hemisphere plants. Everyone was kept busy and f ascinated by
the rapid flow of inf ormation and knowledge. His training as a scientist told in his
methodical approach to the subject. After a sketched background to his lif e, he
approached the subject of the evening f rom a wider perspective, discussion on
Irish climatology, general background to cultivation with location and local conditions, micro climates, planting mediums, artif icial protection, f rost pockets etc.
eventually leading to the extraordinary, unusual and f ascinating plants that he
grows in the amazing garden that he and his wif e Laura have created at Dhu Varren.
Our next meeting will be the Christmas party on Thursday, 4th December at Gat eway at 7 p.m. so come and enjoy the food and have f un with the quiz.
