Help needed with Chapel Protective Roof Project Head Quarters

Volunteers at work!

Volunteers at work!

Chapel Protective Roof Project Head Quarters

The Chapel Protection Roof Project HQ was built for the ability to manage and assemble a safe plan to restore the chapel roof. This area allows volunteers to continue work in a comfortable environment during harsh winter conditions. The ability to work through the winter will allow for more stability and quicker completion of all the restoration projects. The materials that will be used on the chapel roof has been recovered from the Limerick tunnel project. These materials which are all recycled will be disassembled and transformed into an elegant new chapel roof.

The amount of commitment and hard work that has been put into the Head Quarters has been incredible from all the volunteers involved. Since Castlepallooza 2011, this area has gone through a large renovation. Which include:

- Uplift/restore the floor

  • Install a subfloor
  • New support beams and ceiling
  • Fiberglass insulation in floor and ceiling
  • Hang and design doors
  • Wall building
  • Painting/sealing

These jobs have been completed by just a hand full of volunteers, there are still many jobs that need assistance with this project.

- Hang plaster board on walls and ceiling

  • Design and install bathroom
  • Install wood heaters/ventilation
  • Upgrade floor surface

The Castle needs as many hands as possible, these types of jobs might not be as much fun as the event volunteering; but to make the events fun and safe we would greatly appreciate your help!!

Volunteers a huge success in Castlepalooza

Caharleville Castle Volunteers

On Bank Holiday weekend 2011, Charleville Castle hosted Castlpalooza, one of the best music festivals in Ireland.  Over the course of the weekend, almost 200 volunteers or “Paloozateers” gave up their spare time to ensure that a good time was had by all and the castle grounds were kept clean and tidy.

Without our volunteers, events like Castlepalooza would not be possible and with that thought in mind, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all!

 

Volunteers Needed for Castlepalooza Next Weekend!

Hey there Paloozateers and Castle lovers…

As you are aware, Castlepalooza is fast approaching and we are looking for volunteers (Paloozateers for the festival) to volunteer.   This year we will have 3 teams each working one shift a day and the rest of the time, free to enjoy the music and atmosphere that is Castlepalooza.
We will have dedicated Camping areas for Paloozateers and your shift will be clear and we aim to keep friends together so when you are off shift, you can stay together.
Can you get back to me to let me know if you are available and we can start planning…
Also, if you have any friends that want to come too, they will need to register at the link below,
