Last week we were delighted to visit Tesco Clonmel to be presented with a donation from the stores hugely popular Blue Token Community Fund. Lena from Tesco presented us with an amazing €721 for our Panda Playground fundraiser. This is the second time that Panda Playground has been lucky enough to be chosen for the Tesco Blue Token campaign and both donations have made a huge difference to our fundraising efforts. We’d like to thank all that used their Tesco Blue tokens to vote for our cause over the past few months. Special thanks also to Lena and branch manager Martin from the Tesco Clonmel store who have been hugely supportive of our Panda Playground campaign.
Ballymacarbry Ladies Football club request that you support their upcoming bottle and can collection fundraising drive. Bottles and cans must contain the ‘Re-Turn’ symbol, be completely clean and uncrushed. The club will hold the collection day on Saturday, February 22, from 9am to 12pm, so get collecting and support the girls.
Over the past number of weeks our local young hurlers have been enjoying fierce competition within the Buckley cup and Power Shield, held in the community centre astro turf facility. The games have been wonderful and the progress being made by our young hurlers is great to witness. Last week saw the finals being played off and they did not disappoint. Well done to all involved in making this annual competition a huge success once again.
Each week the centre 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 other 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.
