through to next March. The first table quiz took place last night, Wednes- day, 27 September, in aid of the local Badmin- ton Club. “The


quizzes will be between teams of


four with prizes for first place,” said Bryan Hor- gan, the


organiser of series of table


the quiz series. “We will also have spot prizes and complimentary finger good. They are gener- ally open to everyone with no pre-booking required. You can just show up on the night. We have gotten a good response so far. We are hoping to have 20-25 ta- bles at [these quizzes].” Donations or spon-

going to the night’s cho- sen local club. The


currently con-


firmed quiz nights, which will all be held on Wednesdays, include one for the GAA Club on 25 October, the Community Council on 29 November, the soc- cer club on 24 January 2018, Tidy Towns on 28 February and the Camo- gie Club on 28 March. “It is an idea I came up with and it is all about looking after the community,” said Mr Horgan. “We will be holding more of


these


events going forward as the response has been massive. We are a small community and we have


to back each other. Any- thing made on the night goes to the clubs so the more money raised the better.” The


schedule for


the series of quizzes is hoped to be continued after March next year, with more quiz nights to be announced. “We’d like to keep


every club happy,” said Mr Horgan. “I think I got all the clubs in the area, but if not this will be an ongoing event for the next two years. Table quizzes are fun nights out, especially from Sep- tember on. What


else


would you be doing on a Wednesday night?”


Third James Stevens Memorial Fundraiser for East Cork Rapid Response Held Next Week


by ALAN SHEEHAN


The third James Ste- vens Memorial


Classic


Car Run and Concert commences next Sunday, 8 October in aid of East Cork Rapid Response. The two-part memori-


al event will begin with a Classic Car tour around East Cork, which is free to enter. Participants will meet at the Mogeely Creamery for 12pm, with


the run departing at 1pm. This tour will be followed by live music at the Sports- man Inn, Mogeely,


from


around 4pm. “This is


the third me-


morial fundraiser,” said Graham Stevens, whose son James unexpected- ly passed away in 2015. “As in previous years it will include a classic car run followed by a concert and will be held in aid of the East Cork Rapid


Response. The cars will meet on midday on Sun- day at


the Creamery in


Mogeely and will leave at about 1pm on a tour of East Cork. It will return to Mogeely for 4pm. We are not charging for the run, but donations are encour- aged.” Mr Stevens’ son James was a musician and stu- dent at CIT Cork School of Music, and as befitting an event held in memori- am to him the second part of the fundraiser will be a concert featuring a host of talent from in and around East Cork. “Then we will have mu-


sic until about 10.30pm at the Sportsman Inn,” said Mr Stevens. “There will be bucket collections and a raffle drawn on the day. We will have a variety of small spot prizes donated by local businesses.” The night’s performers will include Top Men, Rowan, Bad Reputation, Rockhard, Lorenzo Blue, Johnny Houlihan, Dots


and Henny, Mike Carey, Roger Ryan, Mark Ryan, Mike Baker, Katy Stevens, and Aaron McCarthy. As was the case for the


past two such events, this year’s James Stevens Me- morial is fundraising for the East Cork Rapid Re- sponse (ECRR). In excess of €8000 was raised over two previous events, which helped the ECRR in pur- chasing a ZOLL defibril- lator response vehicle. East Cork Rapid Re-


sponse is a voluntary ser- vice which supplements the ambulance by


service providing emergency


pre-hospital care on par with ambulances at seri- ous emergency medical in- cidents such as cardiac ar- rests, road traffic collisions and other traumas such as farm accidents. ECRR is run on a voluntary basis with the medical equip- ment and maintenance for the response car funded by public donations and all personnel working with- out pay.

Sunday 8th October Mogeely, Co. Cork


On the evening of Wednesday, 29th July 2015, James Stevens collapsed at home. The East Cork Rapid Response group attended the house within 10 minutes of the 999 call. They worked for over an hour to stabilise him before he was transferred to CUH. Unfortunately, James died several hours later.


This event is intended to celebrate his 2 great interests, Classic Cars and Live Music. Donations are encouraged for the East Cork Rapid Response group.
