Local Notes: Leisure cycling challenge, playground construction time, table quiz and centre news
The cycling challenge is a leisure cycle event and not a race
Our chosen playground provider has informed us that construction is due to commence in one month from now.
This is wonderful news and puts us well ahead of schedule for our year end target for the playground to be fully operational.
It will be fantastic to see action taking place on site in the coming weeks, turning this dream into reality for the community. Our fundraising still has quite a distance to go before we hit our target so please consider making a playground fund donation if you have not yet done so. These donations will deliver a wonderful long lasting legacy for our area.
We would like to invite all quizzers to the Emigrants Rest in Clonmel, on Thursday evening, July 27, at 8.30pm, for a table quiz fundraiser in aid of our playground. Teams of four are invited to attend and the cost to participate will be €20 per team. It promises to be a great night of fun so please spread the word.
Our next bingo event takes place on Friday, June 21, at the usual time of 8pm. It would be great to see the big attendances continue into the summer months. The support up to now has blown us away so long may it continue.
Make sure to book your place on the Comeragh & Knockmealdown Challenge Cycle before it’s too late.
The leisure cycle challenge is coming to Ballymacarbry on Sunday, July 14. This Playground Fundraiser promises to be a great event. The event is part of Cycling Munster Leisure Series and will consist of two routes: 50km and 110km.
It's open to all cycling enthusiasts and leisure cyclists, and you can register for the event through the link on our social media pages. We are looking for kind volunteers to be road marshals for this large event. Please contact us the Community Centre on 086 0328467 if you would like to be involved.
We are delighted to announce the return of the hugely popular ‘Bricks 4 Kidz’ camp to the community centre this summer. The camp will take place from July 15 to 19, from 10am to 1.30pm daily. Booking is now possible via the Bricks 4 Kidz website and through the link shared on the community centre's social media channels. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Recent weeks have seen the centre extremely busy with birthday parties and other celebrations each weekend. We can facilitate all group sizes and requirements across our various rooms and halls. Access to our astroturf facility for children's birthday parties is always a huge hit. It is also possible to book bouncy castles for the astroturf hall. For any enquiries, just give us a call on the centre mobile (086 0328467).
Events taking place at the community centre this week will include fitness when our local fitness expert Stephanie Byrne continues to run her weekly fitness classes each Tuesday evening at 7pm and bright and early each Thursday morning from 6.30am. Contact Stephanie on 087 629 1955 if you would like to get involved in these ever-popular classes.
There is also badminton and if you would like to get involved in that, each Tuesday night, contact Siobhan on 086 8775670.
