Crosshaven Development Committee Following on from the success of the 2009 calendar and the positive feedback form the people that purchased the calendar, the committee have once again decided to produce a calendar for 2010. It is with this in mind that the committee invite people to submit any photographs with a local theme (new or old) for consideration in the new calendar. The calendar is a major source of income for the Development Committee and the monies raised in the past have been used in projects in and around the village inc. the new amenity park at entrance to the village, the new seating area at the pier and the Point, the viewing area at Weavers Point and the reinstatement of the steps at Graball Bay.

for a weekend break with a difference? The Irish Heart Foundation invites you to take part in the Annual Kerry Walk around Killarney on June 12-15, which promises to put a feel-good bounce your step. You can enjoy a unique experience combining beautiful scenery, invigorating walks and the knowledge that every step you take is helping in the fight against heart disease. All you need is a good pair of boots, plenty of enthusiasm and a great sense of adventure. The weekend includes three night’s accommodation in the Lake Hotel in Killarney, all meals and packed lunches, two full day and one half day walk. All who take part are expected to raise a minimum of E675 to help raise essential funding for the national heart health charity. Sign up now before it’s too late! A €E100 deposit is required to reserve a place.

The calendar is also a great source of enjoyment for expats all over the world form Australia to USA who now wait for their copy of the calendar from their friends & family back at home in Christmas. The committee would like people to start submitting their photographs as soon as possible and as many photographs as they would like to submit by email to photo@ cdccrosshaven.com or photographs can also be sent or handed in to Crosshaven Post office for the attention of the Development Committee.
