Mary Coughlan – one of Ireland’s greatest ever jazz and blues singers – is celebrating 40 years in music with an extensive tour throughout 2024.

Mary Coughlan’s career in music has been one hell-of-a-ride. Often described as the greatest female vocalist that Ireland has ever produced, Coughlan proudly stands alongside some of the world’s most iconic jazz singers. She is unique in blending whisky-blurred, smoke-seared, husky notes with the laconic wit of Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee. Mary Coughlan is one of our greatest singers because over 40 years she has made the most grown-up, uncompromising, wholly personal yet utterly universal music on either side of the Atlantic about what goes on between men and women.

GREYSTONES FILM CLUB: THE SHINING THE WHALE THEATRE DATE: Thursday 31st October | TIME: Doors open at 7pm | TICKETS: €12.00

When the Library of Congress selected The Shining in 2018 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being ‘culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant’, they weren’t wrong!

Regarded as one of the finest horror films of all time, Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s eponymous 1977 novel tells the story of writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) taking a winter caretaker position at the remote and shuttered Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, bringing along his wife (Duvall) and young son (Danny Lloyd).

That a previous winter caretaker killed his wife and two young daughters doesn’t seem to bother Jack. Nor do his son’s frightening premonitions and psychic visions. Well they should!

CORAL LEISURE ARKLOW Seaview Avenue, Ferrybank Arklow, Co Wicklow Tel: 0402 – 23328 Email: arklow@coralleisure.ie

Coral Leisure Arklow - Swimming For All Inspiring The Future Swimming Community The swimming pool at Coral Leisure Arklow has been driving and nurturing the swimming community of Arklow and its surrounding area for nearly 20 years. The indoor 25m pool opened in 1999 replacing the outdoor pool which many local people of a certain generation will have fond memories of learning to swim under the guidance of Nancy Quinn and the instructors of the pool over the years.

From late 2003 Coral Leisure have been facilitating and offering an extensive range of aquatic activities from swimming lessons, lifesaving classes and competitive swimming, from toddler age right through to adulthood following the Long-Term Athlete Development programme. The first lesson experience and for some the first introduction to the pool is through our Water Confidence Classes taking place on Monday afternoons. These classes suitable for children age 2 ½ - 4 yrs are taught in a relaxed and fun focused setting.

Our main programme of swimming lessons catering for children aged 4 yrs upwards have grown from classes taking place 3 days per week to 6 days per week.

We offer a simple and straightforward booking process with a new term of lessons starting every 8 weeks. Our qualified and experienced instructors deliver a high quality and standard of swimming across 8 different levels.

This September a new initiative was introduced to give children access to more pool time, while creating an opportunity for children to practice what they have been learning and to just have an extra swim or two between their lessons, free of charge! Upon enrolment each child gets issued with a pass enabling them to have free access to our pool during public swimming hours. This has already proven hugely popular with many of our swimmers.

When a child has reached the last stage of our swimming lessons - Pre-Club level, their swimming journey doesn’t have to stop there. Once Pre-Club level has been completed children are then ready to move into either our RLSS Rookie Lifeguard Programme or for some looking to get into the competitive side of swimming, Asgard Swim Club.

The RLSS Rookie Lifeguard programme is delivered by our in-house RLSS Trainer and Assessor, Nicola Walker. Nicola delivers the various stages of the RLSS Rookie programme, awarding successful candidates their Bronze, Silver, Gold medallions and also the Survive and Save award. Built into the programme are lessons in valuable survival, rescue and sports skills, all delivered in an exciting way that will get children involved and motivated.

Asgard Swim Club is a competitive swimming club that caters for athletes at different stages of development following through on the Learning to Train. Their aim is to provide a friendly atmosphere in which swimmers can achieve their full potential, develop social skills in a sporting environment. With currently over 120 members they have had many swimmers through the club representing the club at National and International Level.

Sometimes group lessons are not for everyone and we provide the option of one to one lessons for adults and children which may be more suited to their needs, daily lifestyle and schedules.

Outside of our children’s swimming lessons programme we endeavour to keep the community of Arklow and its surroundings enjoying swimming. Adult Swim Lessons and currently running at the moment a Learn to Swim for Women programme through Wicklow Sports Partnership.

Coral Leisure will continue to be the focal point for swimming within the community.

We are grateful for the continued support of all involved.

The Heat is on!

What You Don’t Know Can Cost You: 1.

14% Fireplaces are warm, right? Yes, but if the

flue is left open, 14% of your heat goes up the chimney. You might as well be burning money.

2.

13% Everywhere pipes, wires or lighting come

into your house, heat can get out. Seals and insulation can keep up to 13 percent of that heat inside where it belongs.

3.

10% Windows leak about 10% of your warm air.

Get them sealed up with caulk and shut them tight.

60 Years’ Experience – In Quality Fireplace At Burna we can supply and fit beautiful fireplaces and stoves, customized to your desires, that can become the centrepiece of your home. No chimney? No problem! We can build a twin wall flue to suit your needs.

We provide an extensive range of fireplaces, stoves, gas and electric, to suit all styles and tastes, from the classic to the contemporary.

We pride ourselves on the quality and variety of our products and are confident that we can supply and fit a fireplace to satisfy all our customer’s needs.

15% Another 15% of your heat gets out through leaky duct work. Sealing them up can yield savings of 10 – 20 percent.

5.

11% Doors are major culprits. A 1/8inch gap is like knocking a hole in your wall. Proper weather stripping can reduce the 11 percent loss to nearly zero.

6.

31% of heat escapes through your ceiling, walls

and floors. Checking and replacing damaged insulation or adding additional insulation can lead to big savings.

It is that time of year again when temperatures begin to drop significantly so we thought it would be an ideal time to list a few different ways you can heat your homes to keep you warm and cosy during the long winter months.

Gas Boilers:

Servicing your boiler each year is essential to ensure the safety, efficiency and reliability of your gas boiler. A regularly serviced boiler will operate more efficiently and save you money on your energy bills.

It will also help prevent costly breakdowns and repairs. As with all heating appliances, your gas boiler needs to be serviced once a year, as recommended by the manufacturers, to ensure that it is operating efficiently and safely. An efficient boiler is more environmentaly friendly leading to lower gas consumption,

therefore lowering your bills. Make sure to use only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI)

Underfloor Heating:

Underfloor heating has become increasingly popular with homeowners

throughout Ireland, this is mainly due to the fact that underfloor heating provides high levels of comfort, a healthier living environment and is highly energy efficient.

Underfloor heating systems can be installed in existing builds and new builds, once installed they are practically maintenance free. It is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home as the heat is distributed evenly throughout the rooms. Whereas, radiators only heat the area around them rapidly, this heat is quickly dispersed upwards IN WICKLOW | AUTUMN 2024

Home Heating and away from the areas that you want to heat. Underfloor heating also comes with its own thermostat allowing you to control the heating temperatures in your rooms.

The Heat is on!

Solar panels are also a popular choice with homeowners throughout Ireland.

Solar panels capture the daylight energy and convert it into electricity that can be used to power your home or business.

Air to Water Heat External Wall Pumps: Insulation (EWI):

Your Local Independent Oil Company We are a family owned heating oil company with more than 30 years’ experience in our industry.

We supply home heating oil, tractor diesel, road diesel, bottled gas and a full range of oil tanks and lubricants.

We deliver to South Dublin, Wicklow and North Wexford at very competitive prices and also provide a 7-day emergency oil delivery service.

If you are looking to reduce your home heating costs an air to water heat pump system is an ideal choice.

By installing a heat pump in your home you can save up to 75% on your heating costs.

The air to water heat pump absorbs the air from outside, this heat can then be used to heat your radiators, water and underfloor heating systems. Air to water heat pumps are also suitable for any business premises with high water usage.

Solar Panels:

External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a composite cladding system comprised of suitable insulation and waterproof coating which is applied to all the external walls of a building. The application of EWI reduces heating bills, and consequently, carbon emissions also. External Wall Insulation (EWI) is the most efficient way to insulate an existing building.

It uses the fabric of the building like a storage radiator. Because the heat can no longer escape through the outer layer of insulation, it is reflected back into the living areas, creating a constant warm home.

Spray Foam Insulation: Spray foam can be used in many different situations. Within the home it can be applied to roofs, attics, floors, with underfloor heating systems and interior and exterior walls.

Glaze your windows — Double (and even triple) glazing will reduce condensation, heat loss and noise pollution. It will also increase your home’s security (by making the windows harder to break), as well as reduce interior fading.

Finding the best home heating system for your home will depend on a number of factors. Some key issues we advise you to keep in mind when researching, updating or changing your home heating system include the following:

COST: Cost will obviously be an important deciding factor, depending on your personal situation. Not only the initial cost, but also maintenance and upgrade costs. Is it financially viable for you to do a complete overhaul of your heating system, or can smaller upgrades be made?

FUEL ACCESSIBILITY: Gas is currently much cheaper than electricity when it comes to heating your house, so if you’re not connected to the gas network, you’ll need to weigh up the cost of connection against using electricity, installing an LPG or oil tank, or alternative heating resources such as solar, or heat pumps.

In adition, as if reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint wasn’t enough of an incentive, you should check to see if you qualify for any of the grants available for upgrading residential heating systems.

HOME HEATING HACKS: Lower the temperature to 16ºC when you sleep — Not only will a cooler room lower your energy bills, but it will also help you to fall asleep faster by cooling your body and simulating the temperature during your sleep cycle.

are not only cheap, but they’re also easy to install. These panels will stop radiator heat from being absorbed by your walls rather than heating up the air in the room.

HOME HEATING GRANTS Upgrading your home heating system can be expensive. Fortunately, there are various home heating grants available through SEAI. These include the following:

• Heat Pumps Systems Grants • Heating Controls Grants • Solar Water Heating Grants • Boiler Grants

HOW ENERGY EFFICIENT IS YOUR HOME? The insulation and airtightness of any home dictate how efficient a heating system will be, and how much heating effort will be needed.

If your house is well-insulated and airtight, you won’t need a system with as much capacity for heat and hot water generation. It’s important to remember that investing in better insulation will also reduce your energy bills and increase the efficiency of whatever heating system you have installed.

Reflect the heat from your radiators — Radiator reflector foils

Use blackout curtains — Having them closed at night reduce heat loss through your windows in winter.

If you close them during the day, they can also keep your house from heating up too much during a rare hot spell.

Eliminate drafts in your home — Add draft excluders under doors and use insulating tape on

In addition to the above grants, others are also available that can improve the efficiency of heating your home.

• Insulation Grants • Draught Proofing Grants • Window and Door Grants

5 of Wicklow’s Top Wedding Venues

To the moon and back Choosing your wedding venue is usually one of the most difficult decisions, especially if you’re picky! To make it easier, it’s best, before making a shortlist, to think about the kind of wedding you want to have and what venue options will suit that type of celebration. To help with the big wedding venue search we’ve put together a short list of some of Wicklow’s Top wedding venue options that are certainly worth a visit.

5 While pretty much every aspect of a wedding is optional, from wearing a suit instead of a dress to ditching the flowers to forgoing the wedding cake, there’s one thing you can’t skip: a venue! After all, you’ve got to have somewhere for your friends and family to gather and celebrate!

1. The Parkview Hotel 2. The Arklow Bay Hotel 3. Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort 4. Powerscourt Distillery 5. The Bridge Tavern Until you book your venue, your

wedding is a blank canvas and it’s almost impossible to make any major decisions around it. Your wedding venue will determine the vibe and style of your wedding, as well as the location and budget, so it’s important to choose wisely. Once you settle on a wedding venue, the space dictates pretty much everything else about your big day. Before you start researching wedding venues, organise a sitdown chat with your other half, in which you brainstorm ideas for your wedding day and settle on the kind of party you want to throw.

Walking in Wicklow

Less Talking, Keep Walking

Ballinastoe Woods Boardwalk You’ll find Ballinastoe Woods in Wicklow, at Sraghmore, Oldtown, to be precise. It’s a stone’s throw from Lough Tay and a short drive from Roundwood Village.

The Ballinastoe Woods walk is one of the more popular walks in Wicklow where family and friends can enjoy the views, some fresh air and a bit of outdoor activity time for the kids.

Part of the mighty Wicklow Way, Ballinastoe Forest is a fine little stop-off point if you’re doing the Sally Gap Drive and you want to hop out of the car for a ramble.

There are several different walks of varying lengths that you can tackle here, and they range from 30 minutes to 3.5 hours+ in length.

The wonderful boardwalk trail takes you through the forest with several stops at

viewpoints along the way. You will have stunning views of Lough Tay. It’s an easy-going route that is suitable for most abilities, so a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors. The boardwalk can be slippery in places so be mindful of wet weather and wear proper shoes.

Ballinastoe Boardwalk Entry The “Wicklow Way Car Park” is a good spot to park and then walk along the road to Ballinastoe Woods, the JB Malone Car Park is quite a walk away from the boardwalk. Here is a close up of the entry point to the Ballinastoe Woods boardwalk from the road. Of course, there are other ways to do the Ballinastoe Woods Walk, but this may be the quickest route.
