Centre.
The free gift give-away was
Aura’s way of rewarding anyone

cinema tickets and yoga mats.

explained Coleman.
“What I love about Aura is the top class facilities. Everything is so
well managed and clean and the staff are friendly and approach-
able. Whether you are a first timer or a regular they really go above

make exercising so enjoyable,” added Coleman.

“The draw and prize give away was our way of rewarding these
members for referring us to friends. We want as may people as
possible to have the opportunity to try our classes and facilities
and see how we can help them make their health and fitness ambi-
tions become a reality,” explained Tracy.
“Our Membership Advisors are always on hand to talk to anyone
about what membership option is best for them. People are often
surprised to hear that they don’t need to pay an annual member-
ship fee to enjoy our facilities and that they can simply Pay as You
Go,” added Tracy.
“Every journey begins with the first step and Aura is all about
helping people to take that all important first step towards taking
up exercise, setting and realising personal fitness goals,” added
Tracy. Further information about any of the classes or programmes

Badminton Basics Pobalscoil Students
Programme TY Students Invited To Shanghai
The Cork Sports Partnership in association with Badminton
Ireland organised to deliver a Badminton Basics programme to 10
secondary schools in Cork county. Pobalscoil na Trionoide, was
among one of the 10 lucky schools to participate. PE Teacher Ms.
Casey, in conjunction with Badminton Development Officer
Wayne Doyle, invited badminton coach Frieda Kearns to teach the
programme to a group of 22 Transition Year students. The
Badminton Basics module gives each student the skills and knowl-
edge to deliver basic badminton skills to younger players and to
begin assisting in coaching.
The course took place over 2 sessions lasting 5 hours in total. The
students were taught a mixture of fun games, different types of
badminton strokes, footwork and the rules of the game. By the end
of the course, students were able to demonstrate and explain the
keypoints of the game. The students were interested and enthusi-
astic in their participation and both coach and students enjoyed the
sessions. Well done to all who successfully completed the course! Frank Delaney, Bernie Heffernan, Julie Ní , Helen Waide, Adam Dalton, Aisling

YOUGHAL
THE SOUTH COAST’S
MOST POPULAR RESORT
Youghal is now recognised as south coasts most popular resort. This
stunning holiday destination has been awarded an EU Blue Flag for
the beach at Claycastle near the town centre. It's no wonder that
Youghal has become the family destination of choice. The adventur-
ous holiday-maker can choose from a range of activities including
power-boating, dinghy-racing, yacht cruising, whale watching, even
wreck-diving!For those looking for a more laid-back experience, vis-
itors can take a relaxing cruise or fishing trip on the Blackwater river
- one of Europe's most unspoilt rivers. Perks Family Entertainment
Centre and the Aura Leisure Centre is a must for all the family and
with more holiday homes to rent than any other resort town on the
South Coast - including cottages, houses, apartments, guest houses
and even luxury villas, many with spectacular views, you will be
spoilt for choice.
But this resort is not just about the sea...It's about the 'craic' in the bars,
the live music, the world famous seafood restaurants, the golf and
greyhound racing all set in the backdrop of a medieval town of stun-
ning beauty and character.What sets Youghal apart from other resorts
however, is its natural beauty, with stunning walks and cycle routes
along ecology areas to the historical town centre. Youghal is also a
perfect base in which to explore the beauty of East Cork and West
Waterford. A large number of internationally acknowledged heritage
sites and conservation areas are visible along these routes. Youghal is
also one of the best preserved examples of a 13th century town in
Europe, and as such has been designated a 'Heritage' Town by Failte
Ireland. It was built as a town to defend and control trade on the
Blackwater River which leads into the heart of Munster's rich farm-
lands.
Youghal's position was critical to the maintenance of that trade, and
access to the most valuable farmland in Ireland. It derives its name
from the Gaelic word 'Eochaill', meaning 'yew wood', pronounced
'Yawl'. You can explore the walls and one of the towers from which it
is possible to make out the original layout of the town. Full details on
the historic buildings in Youghal, such as the Watergate, Myrtle
Grove, Tyntes Castle and St. Mary's Collegiate Church can be found
in our heritage section. The most notable (and photographed) building
in the town centre is the fine Clock Tower in the main street, built in
1776 as a gaol (jail) to imprison the renegade Catholics. It was rou-
tinely used as torture chamber and was universally regarded as a sym-
bol of terror and tyranny!Sir Walter Raleigh is probably the most
famous citizen of Youghal, responsible for bringing two things to
Youghal - potatoes and tobacco, as Youghal was the leading trading
point in Ireland at the time. Another famous resident of Youghal was
the first Earl of Cork, Sir Richard Boyle, who purchased many of the
estates of Raleigh.
Boyle's remains are buried in St. Mary's Collegiate Church, an 11th
century jewel.To fully appreciate medieval and historical Youghal,
take a guided or self guided tour around Youghal Heritage Trail , com-
mencing at Youghal Tourist Office.Today Youghal celebrates its past
and present in a series of events and festivals throughout the year. For
the Irish music and dance enthusiast Ceoltas Si' is performed in a
number of locations throughout the town, both shows running
throughout July and August. Sports enthusiasts can take part in the
Youghal Triathlon in July. A family fun day that celebrates Youghal's
magical medieval past is the annual Medieval Fun Day. Youghal
Celebrates History is an annual conference when historians from
Ireland and abroad gather for animated discussions on Youghal's her-
itage.Youghal is ideally geographically positioned. It's where the
beauty of East Cork merges with stunning West Waterford and serves
as a perfect base for the holidaymaker. With access to both Cork and
Waterford Airports only a 45 minute drive away.

and currently sits on Youghal and East Cork Youth Committees.
Killian has been a hugely positive influence on a soccer group set
up by the Youghal Garda Youth Diversion Project last September.
This soccer group began with seven young people and now regu-
larly attracts 17-20 young people each week. Killian also volun-
teered with a younger group in the project and has given his free
time to fundraising and other organising of events. Killian is on
the student Council of his secondary school, Pobal Scoil na
Tríonóide and is a also a first year leader there.
Killian acted as M.C. for the Y-Factor talent night in Youghal in
December and again for a Talent Night in Youghal Youth Cafe in
April of this year and was very good in his role on both occasions.
He also addressed the guests at the launch of Foróige Youth
Services in Youghal in February of this year and spoke eloquently
of the impact the project has had on his life and his goal of being
a youth worker in the future.
Killian is a role model for his peers and conducts himself well and
with maturity in the Youth Project. He is enthusiastic and positive
and motivated despite some difficulties he has had in his life.
