Christmas Cheer: In
these very unusual and trying times, it was great to see the members and
friends of the Bailieborough Mid-Summer Festival and Town Events out and about
last weekend getting the Christmas Lights and fixtures all ready for the
Festive season. This year—more than any other year—the entire community will
need a ‘lift’ to see us through the long dark days ahead and it will be through
the efforts of these local people that we will have something to look forward
to and enjoy, so a big ‘Thank You’ to all the people who have put in the hard
work to help our town.
Bailieborough Swimming
Pool and Leisure Centre: Update: We at Bailieborough
Swimming and Leisure Centre CLG hope that everyone is safe and well at this
time.
We are absolutely thrilled that we
have recently been successful in getting approval for grant funding for
€122,500. We will continue to work with Cavan County Council and Government
agencies to draw down this funding as soon as we can. In light of this good
news, we would like to express our sincere thanks to all our public
representatives who worked with us to achieve this funding. We want to let the
public know that the Board are now working on plans to reopen the centre as
soon as possible in early 2021 so please keep posted on the centre’s website
and on social media for further developments.
Our General Manager, Mary McConnell,
who has worked at the Leisure Centre since its opening has decided to take some
personal time away from the Leisure Centre. The Board will seek to find a
replacement manager to fill this post. In the meantime, we send Mary our best
wishes and we look forward to seeing her back at the Centre sometime in the
future.
For your continued support and
patience, we sincerely thank you.

Masses: No public Masses for the time being due to
Covid restrictions. Masses will be said

weddings and funerals may take place, but numbers will be restricted. This will be the case for the foreseeable
future.

Baptisms will take place, except in the cases of emergency while we remain in
Level 5. When we return to Level 3, Baptisms may take place but only the
parents, child and godparents may attend. As people know, the issue is not the
gatherings in church, but the gathering that may take place in the home
afterwards.

Paying
Our Respects: If you see a hearse, could you stop, stand for a moment as it
passes, perhaps take off your cap, and bow your head?
In these times where funerals are
limited to only a very few close family our chance to support people during
bereavement is limited. So, we wondered if we could revive an old tradition
that would show people that their loss is noticed and shared by us all?
It would mean the world to families
in a time of sadness.
Bailieborough Library: The current Level 5
lockdown unfortunately means that the Libraries in Cavan are closed for the

miss out on good audio and E-books.
Here is how it works:
• Access the Borrow Box app via the
Online Services tab on the Cavan Libraries Website: http://www.cavanlibrary.ie/Default.aspx?StructureID_str=126
• Scroll down and select Borrow Box
(eBooks and eAudio Books) and click on ‘Access Borrow Box’.
• When prompted enter your library
card number (the 14 digit number on the back of your card) and your 4 digit
pin.
• Use the search function on Borrow
Box to make your selection or request a title.
• Your book will appear on the device
with which you select it and remain there for three weeks, after which it will
automatically return to Borrow Box.
If you have trouble accessing Borrow
Box or don’t know your pin, feel free to call your local branch or to contact
us via our Facebook pages. Our doors may be closed but we are ready and happy
