National Heritage Week 2020 is happening – and it’s a #HeritageWeek with a difference!

With ongoing restrictions on social gatherings due to COVID-19, this year, we’re not calling for events, instead, we’re inviting you to organise a project that explores a topic associated with this year’s theme – ‘Heritage and Education: Learning from our Heritage’.

To help you think about what aspect of #heritage you might want to explore under the theme of ‘Heritage and Education’, we have developed three broad sub-themes which can be considered for projects:

* Heritage on your doorstep
* Relearning skills from our heritage
* The heritage of education.

If you would like to get involved as a project organiser go to http://ow.ly/S32Y50AzNEH. Once you register as a project organiser you will find ‘how to’ resources which will help you with your project. *Note there will be no printed County or National Event Guide this year.

The most engaging projects will be featured on the Heritage Week website during #HeritageWeek2020, and will be considered for a Heritage Week 2020 Award. There is also a #County award this year!

"... It’s time to get involved in hosting a project for #NationalHeritageWeek 2020. If you are planning a project please keep in touch so we can help you publicise your project ..." said Nollaig Feeney, Heritage Officer, Roscommon County Council.

You can contact the Heritage Office by email: heritage@roscommoncoco.ie or by phone: 090 663 7271.

Congratulations to all winners, competitors and Lady Captain Maureen Hanly for a hugely successful weekend.

Maureen and the winners were full of praise for the greens keepers for their continued efforts and as commented on how all holes "have remained pristine and immaculate, despite three weekends of competition". 

Well done everyone.
