Camphill Ballybay Newsletter 2014 CAMPHILL BALLYBAY “ The healthy social life is found When in the mirror of each human soul The whole community finds its reflection And when in the community The virtue of each one is living ” CAMPHILL EVENTS LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD What you see now as Camphill Community Ballybay is very very different than it was twenty one years FAMILY DAY ago. At that time the insight and determination of a small group of parents and friends from the locality brought about the small beginnings of a Camphill Community. This group raised a massive £50,000 to get the community started. It did not even start on the present site. The group of co-workers who pioneered the venture started out in a place called Nart. Afterwards they moved into the present site, which was given to Camphill by the Robb family, and they lived in Brighid House and Francis House, which were portocabin type buildings. Francis House was donated by Mourne Grange Community.Some people also lived in rented accommodation in Rockcorry, where the old Shirt Factory was, and there they had a Weavery,a Basket making workshop,and Candle making. Around this time, Glencraig Community donated Applegrove, another portocabin type house. The first building to go up in the community was the Hall. It could be divided in two by a curtain, and half was the Weavery and half was for gatherings, meetings, etc.Other projects around this time were an extension built on to Brighid House, the present Woodwork Shop, and the first farm building. It took a long time to get planning permission for Nuin House.It was built at last in 1996 and is a lovely example of a real Camphill house. Throughout this time, the co-workers were busy trying to convince the local HSE that they were a bona fide organisation.Meanwhile, in order to have some revenue, they took residents from other communities for holidays, both long and short breaks. The next building project after Nuin House was the Workshop Building, which now houses the Bakery, The Candle Workshop,The Tea Room and the Office.Shamrock House was opened in 2004 and a couple of years later the present Farm building went up. Our latest projects have been the Roundhouse, the refurbishment of Brighid House, and a new garden shed. The first resident came at the end of 1994.Over the years the population increased so that we now have fourteen residents and eighteen co-workers. As well as that, we have four employees, five people from employment schemes and two from HSE. At twenty one years, Camphill Community Ballybay has really come of age.Our workshops now are Farm, Garden, Bakery, Weavery, Candle Making, Food Processing, and more recently a Beauty Workshop for the ladies. This year we had our first monitoring inspection by HIQA, and we expect to have our Registration Inspection in January. All of us in the community have been working very hard to marry our Camphill ethos with the requirements of Regulation and Inspection. We are very lucky that we continue to attract a really great group of young co-workers every year, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are the mainstay of the community,bringing freshness and youthful enthusiasm into our daily life. Together with our residents we strive to live and work together in an atmosphere of mutual respect and under- standing, and to enjoy our social life together. Looking forward – we hope to have our Registration in the New Year, and that will be a big milestone in the life of the community.We want to upgrade the existing accommodation and facilities.Most of all we want to open up for our residents more and more opportunities for choice and fulfilment both within and outside of the community.Camphill everywhere is going through a time of change.In the future there will be less and less vocational co-workers and more and more people who are employed in the usual way. Every person who lives and works in Camphill is a co-worker, and we want to believe that whoever is in Camphill in the future will wish to keep alive those things which make a Camphill Community fundamentally special and worthwhile. Camphill Community Ballybay has always been a good place to live and feel at home, and it is our aim to make it even better. Anne Horan EVENTS FAMILY DAY The autumn ‘Family Day’ has come and gone yet again. How the years pass. An opportunity to meet all the souls associated with the Robb Farm community and network with our Camphill friends and acquaintances. This autumn saw us lunch in Nuin House with my daughter Hazel and her Nuin house co-occupants. The courgette soup provided a major distraction - second helpings sought and much praise for the chef! This was followed by a particularly welcome strong cup of filtered coffee specially prepared (explained Bianco with a smile on her face) so we wouldn’t ‘nod off’ during the business of the day which was to follow in the meeting hall! Accompanied by a notable background of humour and camaraderie, the matters of the day were then presented to the gathered group in the meeting hall. Progress within the community is relentless- new utility building for the garden; new workshop for the villagers, lobbying for the stalled water harvesting project; an upbeat report of the wider communities conference in Ballytobin; the struggle,with some success, to retain the special ethos of the community in a new era that demands regulation, account- ability,conformity and financial prudence- all to be documented under a sea of paper. And so the day’s business finished in a most positive and upbeat fashion followed by more coffee (and oh! -those wonderful cakes and tarts) to sustain us on our drive home-lots of ‘craic’ with Hazel and her pals and then it’s the end of another autumn gathering. Oh my goodness- how the years pass! Mr. Davis NEWS Vision Day in Ballytobin We had a talk about vision day in another camphill near “The potter watches the clay Dublin.I talked about the farm and the garden.

  • Senior Football 'All-Star' Team
    SENIOR FOOTBALL ‘ALL-STAR’ TEAM 1 Darren McDonnell (Clontibret) There were obviously a number of contenders for this position, but the Clontibret custodian got the nod as he did not conceded a single goal in this year’s senior football championship. He made his championship debut in 2013 and picked up his first senior championship medal the following year and contributed substantially to Clontibret’s march to regaining the title this year. 2 Ryan Wylie (Ballybay) One of the best defenders in the game this man had a big impact for Ballybay with his positional sense, speed off the mark to make vital interceptions, his man marking and distribution were all vital components in Ballybay reaching the semi-final, while his penchant for counter-attacking saw him score a magnificent solo point against Inniskeen. 3 Conor Boyle (Clontibret) One of Clontibret’s most consistent players all season, he helped anchor the defence with outstanding displays in the championship and was the man in the gap on more than one occasion especially in the County final, where his anticipation saw him appear from almost nowhere to prevent a shot by Conor McCarthy going into the net. 4 Owen Coyle (Latton) A strong, forceful player Owen Coyle, as joint captain put in a series of dominant displays where he was not only the sheet anchor in the defence, but also the springboard for numerous counter attacks that saw him scoring a couple of valuable points. 5 Ryan O’Toole (Scotstown) One of the new breed of players coming through in Scotstown from underage ranks this young man showed this year that he is developing into a very accomplished defender where he has come into his own at wing half back and proved very adept at limiting the influence of some fairly high-profile wing half forwards, putting in a particularly impressive display in the semi-final replay against Ballybay.

    Monaghan’s physical landscape: exploiting its natural resources SUSAN HEGARTY Introduction When the author of the Irish Times article in 1863 called Monaghan the ‘Cornwall of Erin’, he may have somewhat embellished reality.1 Indeed, this idea of an industrialised Monaghan may have been merely aspirational, as the landowners of Monaghan began to engage in exploitation of their mineral resources in the nineteenth century. However, it is true to say that the physical landscape of any area is the foundation for any future development – cultural and social. The raw materials of an area shape the historical experience of its economy and society. Therefore, in this chapter we will examine the evolution of the physical landscape of Monaghan, its endowment of raw materials, and how these have been exploited over the years. Even a cursory glance at the basic physical geography of Monaghan (fig. 1) will suffice to note that the county can be broken up into four areas. The northwestern corner of the county contains its highest point, around the Slieve Beagh uplands. To the east and south of this, is located a lowland area composed of limestone, with average heights of 70 metres above sea level. In the centre of the county, south of Monaghan town, the land rises to an average of 160 metres above sea level. Then further south around Carrickmacross, the land falls again, averaging 60 metres above sea level. All of these changes in landscape and elevation are due to the underlying rock types (fig. 2). Glaciation has also had a significant impact on the landscape of Monaghan, with drumlins being one of its most characteristic features.

In total, over 1,350 structures were recorded. The Inventory should not be regarded as exhaustive and, over time, other buildings and structures of merit may come to light. The purpose of this introduction is to explore the social and historical context of the buildings and structures and to facilitate a greater appreciation of the architectural heritage of County Monaghan. The NIAH survey of the architectural heritage of County Monaghan can be accessed on the internet at: www.buildingsofireland.ie MAP OF COUNTY MONAGHAN From Samuel Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, published London, 1837. 3 JC946 NIAH_Monaghan Book(AW)_COUNTY MONAGHAN 18/06/2013 17:21 Page 4 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE of COUNTY MONAGHAN Introduction Monaghan, an inland county in south Ulster, lies across the great drumlin belt formed by the movement and melting of a retreating ice sheet some 15,000 years ago. This process deposited mounds of boulder clay, and dense poorly draining soil in a great tract between Donegal Bay and Strangford Lough. This concentration of small hills, frequently interspersed with lakes, gives a pleasing and ever changing character to the local topography.

THEfirst edition of this Memoir was issued in 1885, and was prepared by Mr. R. J. Cruise, with palaeontological notes by Mr. W. H. Baily. Advantage has been taken of the demand for a new edition to considerably amplify the subject matter, particularly as regards the glacial features, the minerals, and the relation of the soils to agriculture. A considerable mass of gabbro, first brought to the notice of the Survey by Mr. R. Clark, and used for road-metal and building, has been mapped and described. The assistance of Dr. G. W. Lee in naming a number of Carboniferous fossils is gratefully acknowledged. The country described is typical of the Silurian lands that stretch from near Longford to the coast of Down and into the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
