Our Kilcock » Notices http://ourkilcock.ie Community website for Kilcock, Co. Kildare Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:43:01 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 We’re hiring! Sort of :) http://ourkilcock.ie/2010/02/were-hiring-sort-of/ http://ourkilcock.ie/2010/02/were-hiring-sort-of/#comments Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:49:31 +0000 Heidi Jermyn http://ourkilcock.ie/?p=530 pencilsOur Kilcock has been going strong since mid June of 2009 – but we feel we could get stronger! One of the main ideas behind the set up of www.ourkilcock.ie was that it would be open for a range of topics and contributors. Early on, Aisling Lawlor began sharing her delicious recipes for the readers of OurKilcock. We’ve also had many photographers pro’s and amateurs alike adding their Kilcock pics to the gallery section. Now we want to open up the scope more and get more of our Kilcock residents and business people to share their ideas, stories, articles and knowledge on a one-off or with a regular feature on the website blog. As always we are always very keen to know of any events that are happening around the town. As the website is run on a volunteer basis we can’t offer any financial reward – only the warm fuzzy feeling that you’ve contributed something to your local community :)

Some specific things we’re looking for are:
- weekly sports round up of local sporting fixtures etc.
- weekly review of newspapers featuring Kilcock
- perspectives from a Kilcock yummy mummy
- perspectives from a local school goer
- a feature every month or so on ‘Things to Do around Kilcock’
- reviews and photos of any local events
- short stories
- feature articles on your specialty that would be helpful, amusing, interesting for the local Kilcock community to read.

Please email hello@ourkilcock.ie or phone me on 01 610 3859 if you would like to get involved. Thanks for reading.

A small but dedicated team is diligently working their way around Kilcock; weeding, planting, strimming, picking up rubbish and hanging baskets of beautiful flowers. They rely on a small grant from the council, but mostly fundraising activities to provide the tools and gorgeous flower baskets and beds that we see popping up all over town – this weekend they’re collecting outside the church so pop by and give what you can to keep Kilcock looking great. The Tidy Town judges are due any day now….

Volunteering your Time

As you might imagine they’d get a lot more done if they had a few more volunteers to help out – so please consider volunteering with the Kilcock Tidy Towns crew on a Monday and Wednesday evening over the summer and keep Kilcock looking beautiful. Call Tess on 087 270 9333 if you’d like to help out.
