Boyle Country Meats - This Weekend's Specials

TO ALL IN FEELYSTONE

Our group really enjoyed our visit to the plant and factory last week , as part of Heritage week. From the initial welcome, hosptitality, safety brief, and hi-viz jackets we knew we were about to participate in a truly educational visit to a giant in our industrial heritage. We were conscious that we were being allowed and granted a rare glimpse into a working factory and craft workshop not nomally open to the public.
It was fascinating to see the craftsmen at work, both with new and older tools , to learn about the craft of stonework and masonry, sculpting and finishing. The tour guide was just so full of information - its a pity I can't write about it on Tripadvisor - Feelystone would get ten out of ten !

Lough Key Forest Park, Co. Roscommon

Tommy Egan wrote: To whom it concerns, I have noted in a recent advertisement for your Triathlon to be held in Lough Key Forest Park addressed as Lough Key Forest Park, Carrick-on-Shannon. This is incorrect. Lough Key Forest park is in Boyle co. Roscommon and it always has been, can you please rectify your obvious mistake
Reply to Tommy from the Triathlon Committee
Hi Tommy, Thank you for your email. We have always noted the address of the race as taking place in Lough Key Forest Park, Boyle. What other people put in their notices is unfortunately out of our control. Regards, Aisling
