• A short history and details of current activities.
• Maximum 160 words and should be written as a paragraph in the third person.
• No Lists, no personalities (named personages), no unexplained acronyms should be included.

Please see example from last years’ brochure:

Bornacoola is a small vibrant rural parish on the Leitrim/Longford border with a strong sense of community. It is focused around the Bornacoola Community Centre and Bornacoola GAA. Bornacoola Community Development built a community centre 25 years ago to provide a focal point and a much needed facility that is now home to the Active Age Group, the Bornacoola Drama Group, a variety of classes and other groups. Recently the centre was extended with the help of Leitrim Leader funding to provide a purpose built Youth Club (€130,000). Funding for the work of the development association comes largely from the very successful Lough Rynn Harvest Festival and Vintage Day which is now in its 23rd year. Almost everybody is involved in making this a great community event. The funds raised allows the Development Association to sponsor the Youth Club, GAA and other groups as well as maintaining the community centre and other parish public areas e.g. local cemetery -Cloonmorris.
