DEAR SANTA
Have you got a little someone who would like to
receive a personal letter from the man in red himself this December? Una Bhan
Craft Shop has established a direct line to Santa Claus and has arranged for
him to reply to children’s letters. Your child can write their letter to Santa
and post it in the ‘Special Santa Box’ in the Una Bhan Craft Shop, €5 per child
(to cover admin charges – no stamp required!), then leave the rest to us. Make
sure your child includes their full name, address, age and special requests for
Christmas and include a mention of any brothers, sisters or special friends so
the reply can be really personal. We will make sure that Santa gets to read
each letter and write a personal letter back, which will be posted directly to
the child. Santa’s Letter Service will up until Wednesday 18th December.
WIN A
CHRISTMAS HAMPER
Receive a raffle ticket when you make a purchase over
€5 at the Boyle Courtyard Market during the month of December to be included in
a FREE Christmas Hamper Draw, which will take place on the last market before
Christmas which will be on Saturday 21st of December at 12noon.

building) and by members of the Harrison Trust.
The museum is housed in the Dr Harrison
Memorial Hall, a building owned by the Harrison Trust. Since opening, in the
early 1990s, the Harrison Trust has been in a position to pay our electricity
costs from its invested funds. In later years, the Trust have still continued

(insurance, repairs etc.) and the general upkeep of the building they are no
longer financially in a position to continue this generous practice.
