OUR NEWS
Major David Molloy
We are very sorry to report the death in September of David Molloy at the grand age of 97. David worked tirelessly on the wildfowl feeding project and he was also involved in the installation of a replacement statue in the temple and the
procurement of the camellia garden.
Sensory Garden
The Friends are working with TWBC to install a sensory garden in Dunorlan Park.
There will be four raised planters costing £1,250 each. Two of these are now fully
funded. Anyone wishing to contribute to the cost of the others should contact
Siobhan on dunorlanchair@gmail.com There will also be very significant costs for the creation of paths to make the garden accessible.
Santa in the Café!
Father Christmas has promised to be in the Café on the morning of Monday 22 nd December.
