WELCOME TO OUR ONLINE CHRISTMAS 2021 MARKETPLACE

TRACTON BOOKS
The Tracton Books were prepared and published in 2007 and 2011 respectively, as fundraisers for the restoration and extension of the Knocknamanagh Old School - now Traton Arts & Community Centre. Between them the books raised over €20,000 for the Knocknamanagh project. From a total of 2,500 printed, only a small number are still available for sale now. The 40th anniversary publication, which celebrates the long-lived Tracton News Sheet, is a compilation of some of the key articles which have appeared in the News Sheet in its 40 year history. Between them, the three publications offer a detailed and invaluable history of the Tracton area; they will be of use as references in future, and will make a lovely gift for anyone whose roots are in Tracton but who now live abroad. The books are €10 each, or buy all three together for just €25. Free delivery within the Tracton area. Great value for Christmas 2020! All monies raised from sales will go to the upkeep of Tracton Arts & Community Centre. |
