Local Notes: Playground progress, golf classic, bingo and cúl camp
The playground will be a very welcome amenity in the area
It was another hugely productive week for the Panda Playground construction work.
All our playground equipment is now assembled and set into place. The soft surface which will form the floor of our playground is being laid this week. After this we will working on the finishing touches in advance of safety inspections which will be the final step in advance of opening. The playground perimeter fencing, footpaths, powerwashing and general groundworks have been undertaken by local volunteers for the past number of weeks. We will be eternally grateful to these generous people who have done a remarkable job. In the next week or so we plan a general clean up of the community centre grounds ahead of opening the playground. We’ll once again be calling on the wonderful local community to give a hand with this clean up so keep an eye on our social media posts.
We continue to received great financial support from the community for this playground. Thanks to everyone who has supported us and donated. However, we are still quite a bit short of our required fund of €170,000. If you are in a position to donate, you can still do so. Please contact the Community Centre at 086 032 8467 or view our social media for donation details.
What a day was had last Friday in Clonmel Golf Club for the Panda Playground Golf Classic. The weather played ball and the mood was great as the packed schedule of participating teams teed off. Once again we were blown away by the support for this event. We’d like to sincerely thank all those who took part and donated to this event, especially our tee box sponsors who helped make this a major source of funds for our new playground.
Our next Ballymac Bingo event will take place on Friday, August 2, so mark the date in your calendar and make sure you don’t miss it.
