The first meeting to organise a team to write the History of Glenfarne took place in Cullentragh Centre on Wednesday, 18th January. It was a most encouraging meeting and was well-attended. Many people who could not come indicated their desire to help and support the project. It was unanimously agreed at the meeting that the project was a very worthwhile one and should go ahead. We include a list of the many areas of parish life that we hope the history can deal with. Some additional areas have been added since the meeting.
