We are delighted to announce another fundraising event for our Playground Development. The Comeragh and Knockmealdown Challenge will take place on Sunday, July 14, and is kindly being organised by a group of volunteers from Dungarvan Cycling Club. This leisure cycle event, which is part of Cycling Munster Leisure Series, will consist of two routes: 50km and 110km. Open to all cycling enthusiasts and leisure cyclists, you can register for the event through the link on our social media pages or by scanning the QR code on the poster. The event will set off from Ballymacarbry Community Centre and will require a significant number of marshals, so if you don't feel like cycling and would like to help out as a marshal, please contact us the Community Centre on 086 0328467. We would really appreciate your support to help with a great cause.
The next Ballymac Bingo event will take place on Friday, May 24.
Our Tesco Community Fund fundraiser continues in the Clonmel store. Our good cause is attracting the majority of the attention in the form of the ‘Blue Tokens’ which is great to see. We urge people to continue supporting us for the next number of weeks. We will earn a share of €2,000 for our playground at the end of the campaign.
