Club Notes 28/03/2021

Following on from last week’s Community Heart Campaign we are delighted to announce that we reached our target of  €2,150. Thank you so much to every one of our members and also the community who got involved by walking/running and cycling (there was also a canoe and somebody did theirs on  horseback) the 5K and making their generous donations. We now will receive our state of the art Defibrillator along with a 2nd one that was very kindly donated to the club. These will be both accessible from our club grounds, we will notify everyone of their exact locations once they’re installed. Again a Heartfelt Thankyou from the Healthy Club Team. Apart from Simon’s 10 seconds of fame on the 6-1 news apparently they’re saving the best bits for Nationwide to be shown next month.

Under 14 Girls had their Pizza making extravaganza on Thursday evening. And what a creative bunch of girls. You can check out the pictures on Facebook and Instagram
