KELLS HISTORY GROUP: A local group is considering starting a Kells Historical Discussion Group where people with an interest in the History of Kells could share their stories or just listen to others. There is no commitment to share information and anyone interested can attend. The group would meet for maybe one hour once a month in Mullins Mill, if you are interest in attending just let us know. Maybe you just want to come along and listen to the stories others share this is perfect too, if we get sufficient interest we will get the ball rolling. There would be little cost involved, maybe a donation towards the heating of the Mill for the evening. If not interested yourself please ask others particularly those who may not see any notices, if interested just text your name to Liam O’Sullivan at 087-9101571 or look up Historic Kells on Facebook for more information.
