Lucan will be a hive of activity over the next week with all the events -
Do drop into the Photo Exhibition in St. Mary's Parish Centre over the weekend.

The Lions Quiz on Friday 21st, should be good fun.

In Adamstown, they're launching a book next Wednesday night - Adamstown our home!

There is an invitation to drop into St. Patrick's Public Consultation on Tuesday next.

Lucan Concert Band will be in action with two other bands, in Tallaght next Thursday night.

Waiting for any of the finished articles ....
Mid-way through November, we've yet to see any of the work around Lucan coming to an end. We've noticed the cover going around the 'arch' thing at the Demesne entrance - this particular job into its third week now ....

Water, Water everywhere! Hillcrest and the Dodsboro Road were hit by floods once again, on Wednesday night. What's going on at all? These particular spots are not areas known for flooding

 

St. Mary's Camera Soiree

The Camera Soiree's 13th photographic exhibition is taking place in the parish centre this weekend. It is open on Saturday from 6pm to 7.30 pm and on Sunday from 10am to 1.30pm. We look forward to meeting all our friends at the exhibition. The exhibition will be available to view on the Soiree's YouTube channel after the close of the exhibition. The link to view the exhibition on YouTube is https://youtu.be/dJUNXaxpYWo. Thanks again to our friends in St. Andrew's for the loan of the stands on which to mount the photos.

This week another photograph of the current state of what was once our beautiful village green was submitted, this time by Michael G. It is hard to work out what it will be if it is ever finished!

Donal gave us a photo of the river Liffey in full flow taken from the south side at Shackelton's Mill. The mill was established in 1859 by the forefathers of the explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and was a working flour mill until 1998. Today Shackleton's is a food ingredients company based in Ashbourne Co. Meath.

The task of selecting the photos to be included in the exhibition was difficult so this week I have included some photos that did not make it through the selection process, including Donal’s photo of some machinery in Shackleton's Mill, Rose's butterfly, Michael G's effort at using refraction in photography and Josie's photo of some deer.
