THE 25th edition of the Creeslough View was launched in the Creeslough Day Centre on Saturday night with a large crowd in attendance.
Once again, the publication celebrates the history of Creeslough and its people with some wonderful articles, photos and features which are sure to be of interest.
Speaking at the launch Marie Duffy from the Creeslough View thanked all who played their part in the latest edition.
“As we turn the page on the 25th anniversary of the Creeslough View it’s impossible not to pause and reflect on the journey that brought us here – a quarter of a century of stories, photos and memories bound together by the love of a place we all call home,” she said.
Marie said that the first edition was supposed to be a one off but thanks to the support of the Creeslough diaspora sharing their stories, memories and photos and the input of the local clubs and organisations, the Creeslough View has been kept going all these years.
Marie thanked everyone for their support over the years and also Francis Diver from the Tirconaill Tribune for his help in designing and printing the magazine.
As well as the usual articles and photos, the new edition looks back at events over the past 25 years including the erection of the Cross on Muckish.
