Even the Taoiseach is wishing Frank well!!
Our Chairman, Cllr Frank McDermott has announced that he will not be contesting the next local elections - Frank has served this area since 1967 - and as well as his council duties - worked to bring Fore, Lough Lene and North Westmeath to the attention of a global audience. We are most grateful to Frank for all the work he has done for Fore Heritage and Amenity Group and North Westmeath Creative Tourism and we look forward to continuing to work with Frank for many years to come -
Everyone
We will be running a number of workshops and trails in Fore over Hallowe'en - keep your eyes out for our exciting events.
With funding from Healthy Ireland, Fore Heritage and Amenity group organised a Bicycle Workshop in Fore.
"The aim of today's workshop," explained Frank McDermott, chair, "is to provide children with information and skills to help them to maintain and repair their bikes."
"For these youngsters having their bikes is critically important. it is their links to training, to meeting friends and to getting
out and about. Just like Seamus and myself at this age, the bike is now the only way to be getting around. It will be back to how it used to be. With bikes becoming the go to mode of transport for getting anywhere in the locality."
"We are really grateful to Stephen Franzoni, OE Bikes in Mullingar and Ryan Fitzpatrick, Lockdown Life. Both of these men have a keen interest in cycling, an excellent knowledge and understanding and they also have worked with Youth development. The Healthy Ireland Funding helped us to put together a workshop and kit that worked through many aspects of responsible bike ownership and introduced the teenagers to good practices, support and how they can continue to look after their bikes."
Cllr McDermott was also most interested to hear from the children about developments they would like to see.
"These young people were asking about getting places to safely store their bikes at school and at their pitches. They were talking about safe routes to training and increased awareness from drivers that there are so many cyclists out and about now. They would love to see greater opportunities for training and coaching in cycling so this was a great first step."
