John Mulcahy will deliv- er the lecture which will tell the story of Cork Fe- nians during the events of a rising that spanned three
continents, with
the talk including new information on the indi- viduals involved. Admission is €5, which
will be returned to the Carrigtwohill and Dis- trict Historical Society to cover the costs of organ- ising the talk. The
Carrigtwohill
and District Historical Society was set up to ensure the local history
and folklore of the area is preserved and protect- ed. The society aims to organise around four lec- tures and two field trips each year. The Fenian Rising was
a failed military rebellion against
British rule Ireland that a in took place
in March of 1867 which was planned by the Fe- nians,
transatlantic Carrigtwohill
organisation which was originally formed by an alliance of between the Irish Republican Broth- erhood and the Fenian Brotherhood. Though the rising itself was un- successful, the actions of the people involved in it and the ideals they em- bodied created a legacy that
spread throughout
Irish history, influencing the Easter Rising in 1916 and the War of Inde- pendence that followed. Those wishing to sign
up to the Carrigtwohill and District Historical Society for the
com-
ing 2017/18 year can avail of the member- ship forms which will be available on the night.

from 12.30pm as there is a mass in Aghada and we don’t want to add to the disruption. There will be no cover charge as it is a memorial run. All vintage cars, tractors and bikes and so on are all welcome.” The run will be held in
memoriam for the club’s past members. “It was formally the Hickey Memorial
Pat
Run,” said O’Driscoll, “but we have dropped the name this year as a second member has passed away, so it has be- come a general memorial run for all our deceased
members of the club.” The
departure will run time
scheduled for 1pm and the route is approximate 20km in length. Tractors will stay relatively local, with a route manoeu- vring through Aghada and Whitegate, while cars and motorcycles will take a larger tour of East Cork. “The tractors will tour
the local area,” said Mr O’Driscoll. “Both de- ceased members were from the local area so we will be passing their houses as a mark of re- spect. The tractors
will
stay around the White- gate area and the cars

Cork. Both groups will later go back to the hall for a bit of food.” Next

like tickets to the dinner dance can contact any- one at the club,” said Mr O’Driscoll, “or call into the hall on the day of the Memorial Run.”
