Bingo

Kilbehenny is the place to be on Sunday nights where great prizes can be won at Bingo. As you can see from the photographs below, this is a huge attraction and all involved in Kilbehenny Community Centre Committee are very grateful for the continued support they receive, week in, week out.

45 Drive continues to be a hit in Kilbehenny too, and new members are always welcome.

Needless to say, these events would not be possible without the generosity of volunteers who give tirelessly of their time.

Sincere thanks to all


Sunday Night Bingo and regular card games are a great source of entertainment

Kilbehenny Little Tots - with wheelchair access

Little Tots was founded in September 2006.   Each Tuesday morning between 10.30am and 12.30pm parents and carers of young children meet in Kilbehenny Community Centre. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet up with other adults and engage in chat   Many problems are solved by just sharing experiences and knowledge, while the little ones enjoy the freedom of running around, playing with toys and with other children, and of course there's always a cup of tea on offer for the grown-ups.

We have every available facility here, and all the toys meet the required safety standards.   Babies are especially well catered for with changing facilities etc provided. We organise outings to places like Parson's Green, Leahy's Farm, Monkey Maze and Fota Island which are most enjoyable.  We facilitate courses in Pediatric First Aid, giving us the confidence we need to deal with accidents or emergencies which may occur at any time.

Come along and enjoy a chat and a cup of tea, new members always welcome.

Kilbehenny ICA

On 6th October 1977 the Kilbehenny guild of the I.C.A. was formed under the leadership of the following officers: President: Mary O’Brien, Secretary: Mary Casey, Treasurer: Mary Kelly. Kilbehenny Branch was affiliated to the Limerick Federation. I.C.A. nationally was instrumental in having Breast Check rolled out around the country, thus helping women protect themselves against breast cancer. Each year we organize trips to many parts of Ireland. We meet regularly on 2^nd Tuesday of every month in Kilbehenny Community Centre.

Our most recent outing included a grand tour to the sunny South East and many friends joined us. Our first stop was at Faithlegg House Hotel where we were accorded a royal welcome by local girls Ellen and Tracey. During the course of our four days away, we visited many places of interest including a visit to Bree, Co. Wexford to see the I.C.A. Memorial Garden planted on the site of the hall in which the I.C.A. began in 1910.

New members always welcome.

The tree was generously sponsored by Kay and Anthony Caplice of Skeheenarinky.   We hope both the tree and the children will grow healthy and strong and enjoy living in our beautiful countryside.

Next year it will be Ireland's turn to celebrate its Tri-Centenary and many projects will take place to mark this occasion.
