The Team
This Guide is the result of many hours of work by a small team of volunteers who love this town: Barrie Peterson, Cáit McGrath, Chris McCrohan, Gemma Morris, Kevin Landers, Martina Ferrari, and Ross Boland.
We also have had help from Claudia María Calderón, Ronan Nyhan, Sinéad Barrett, and Tracey O'Meara.
Do you want to help us with event research, editing, distribution, or graphic design? Get in touch with us at whatson@clonmel.town.
Support the Guide
We rely on the generosity of our readers and sponsors to print 2000 copies each week. Help us continue this work by donating with PayPal or Revolut, a few quid each week goes a long way!
This issue of What’s On Clonmel was made possible by donations from Benedictine Quartet and our sponsors Scott Ryan Solicitors LLP (Mary Street), and Fozzy’s Bar (Davis Road).
