There is loads of activity across our local GAA clubs as the years competitions appear on the horizon again. It has been a great winter of training in the community centre astroturf and teams will be returning to the field soon as the weather improves and evenings lengthen. We wish all teams the very best of luck for the year ahead. One team that has been making great use of the centres indoor astroturf has been the U7s. This squad played a football blitz in Bohadoon on Saturday, March 1, and put in fantastic displays in all games played. The future is extremely bright for this committed group of players.
Classes continue in the centre each week and it plays host to spinning classes, fitness classes with Stephanie Byrne, badminton, Yoga classes with our local ‘Ciorcal Cairde’ group, WWETB classes (cookery, fitness & Smartphone/digital technology classes) along with all manner of classes and sports within our indoor astro-turf facility. If you are interested in any of the above contact us here at the centre on 086 0328467 and we can put you in touch with the relevant group.
Ballymacarbry Community Centre is delighted to have recently donated our newly serviced AED, along with an AED cabinet to Fourmilewater Church as well as an AED cabinet to the Nire Church and the servicing of its AED. Having these life-saving devices in such prominent community locations is essential for ensuring quick access in times of emergency. In our community we are fortunate to have seven AEDs located at: Ballymacarbry Community Centre, Nire Church, Fourmilewater Church, FMW/Nire/BLGFC dressing rooms, Pinewood Healthcare, Ballymacarbry Central School and Fourmilewater Health Centre. Hopefully we never have to use them but it is reassuring to know these devices are available in case we do. Thank you to all who supported these efforts to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our community - 'Is fearr an tsláinte ná na táinte'.
