switch 2012 - International Film & Video art in 8 locations in Nenagh.

A former 3G shop, the ACC bank building and former Philips Carpets premises amongst others are being turned into projection screens that will play host to 8 works of art from around the world. Artists Triona Ryan and Harald Turek, co-founders of switch, have once again collaborated with the international art world, local shop-owners and North Tipperary County Council’s Arts Office to produce Nenagh's unique annual outdoor cultural event, focused on projected film and video work.

Running daily from Sunday 5th – Sunday 12th of February, each evening from twilight to midnight, switch will showcase these 8 captivating projected artworks. Members of the public will be able to view varied art works such as the video art work of artist Natalie Lavoie which depicts the frozen Mackenzie river near her home in the remote region of the North West Territories in Canada. Another work equally diverse in its origin was made by artist and botanist Fergus Fullarton Pegg from Scotland using time lapse photography.

The participating artists responding to the 2012 theme of Balance are: Lucie Kim & Felix von der Weppen from New York, Flatform from Milan, Fergus Fullarton Pegg from Glasgow, David Theobald from East Twickenham, Sarah Buckius from Aiken, USA; Mark Neville from Glasgow, Nathalie Lavoie from Fort Simpson, Canada and Paul Grimmer from Newcastle upon Tyne.

The switch event will be launched on Sunday 5th February at 6.30pm at the Ormond Hotel, Kenyon Street, Nenagh. The launch will immediately be followed by the first walking tour, leaving at 6.45pm. The tour will take approximately ninety minutes. The second walking tour will take place on Sunday 12th February, departing at 6.30pm from the Ormond Hotel. Members of the public who would like to conduct their own walking tour can pick up a printed Map and switch’s yellow catalogue, which gives more information on this years artworks from either the Arts Office at the Civic Offices, the Nenagh Arts Centre or the Nenagh Library from 1st February.

Comedian PJ Gallagher has helped launched a unique partnership between Down Syndrome Ireland and the Irish Greyhound Board, with a National Fundraising Night taking place on February 25th, in aid of Down’s Syndrome sufferers.

This is now the second year running that the Greyhound Board will host such an event nationwide, to help raise much needed funds for DSI.

Events will take place at major Greyhound racing venues across the country, including Thurles Greyhound Stadium, Shelbourne Park, Dundalk, Galway, Lifford, Limerick, Mullingar, Newbridge, Tralee and Waterford.

This family-friendly ‘Benefit Night at the Dogs,’ hopes to raise over €100,000, which will go directly to support a wide range of DSI services both locally and nationally. Various competitions and raffles will also be taking place at these venues with ‘goodie bags,’ given to all children attending such events.

Down Syndrome Ireland, 95% funded by voluntary contributions, is an incredible organisation helping thousands of families here in Ireland and with ever increasing cuts in services, it continues to serve over 3,000 members who are increasingly more and more reliant on this organisation, to give them very vital service and support.

If you can help, then please do. Remember the date Feb. 25th next, Thurles Greyhound Stadium.

A meeting will take place on Friday February 17th @ 7pm in Phelans Market Hse, Main St to discuss the possibility of a ladies football club in Roscrea. Anyone interested in seeing Ladies Football return to Roscrea are encouraged to attend. Last April a Gaelic4Girls programme was held in the town, which saw girls aged from 9-13 take part in 8weeks of training and concluded with them playing in Croke Park.
