By now, you may have heard about a 96 page annual magazine set to be
launched this year in Cobh. ‘The Cobh Chronicle’ with stunning photography and
artwork by Colm McDonagh and Pat Carroll, is a non-profit venture designed to
showcase all that Cobh and its inhabitants have to offer.
‘The Cobh Chronicle’ will remember the history of the town and its past achievements, while also focusing on what is happening now and likely plans for the future.
The magazine also aims to support and promote local talented people, many of whom have already been published and hopes to encourage and provide a platform for those yet, unpublished poets, writers and authors.
It will be produced to a high standard and there will be something in it to suit all ages. It is expected that the publication will appeal to a wide audience of Cobhites home and abroad, and also to visitors and those with any connection to the town.
The editorial team is appealing for submissions. Everybody has a story to tell and the more submissions that are received, the better the content will be. It might be a piece of nostalgia from your school days, old sporting memories, a bygone event in town or an old photograph.
They want to hear your stories and what you remember about the people who shaped the town and the local characters who are no longer with us. Don’t be shy.
An email address has been created specifically to gather this information. Don’t worry if you don’t feel confident enough to put your story on paper, just send in the basic information and the editorial team will find another way to get the information out of you. Torture is always a possibility.
