We’re still here, maybe not as visible as during the Summer but working hard to protect Kilkenny from even more destruction. On Thursday night, we had an Auction to raise funds for the Court case that we are now involved in with regard to the CAS (Central Access Scheme). We asked the residents of Kilkenny and beyond (businesses, artists and the (extra)ordinary people) to volunteer their talents and skills and to have them auctioned off. The Auction, in the Ballroom in Langtons Hotel, was even more of success than we could have hoped for. The room filled, the atmosphere was charged, the music was lovely, the wine flowed and the generosity of those there and those who were unable to attend, was amazing. While we raised a fantastic amount of money, this was about more than just the money. It was about Businesses, Community, camaraderie and a passion for the place we live in. It was a night to be proud to be part of that Community and to know that we are doing the right thing in continuing to fight the preserve Kilkenny for now and for the future.

Later on Saturday, there was a great turnout too at the cake/jumble sale at the Hole in the Wall. These events coupled with the table quizzes, Karaoke night and gig by Mixger have given the Save Kilkenny cause a great boost. A clap on the back to all !
