OSKAR NIGHT APPROACHES: Combining the glitz and glamour of Hollywood with the heart and soul of community spirit

The Newmarket OsKaRs, organized by members of Newmarket GAA and sponsored by Newmarket Motors and SEROSEP, is sure to be a night of entertainment, performances, and awards.

This fundraiser involves Newmarket Club members and participants from throughout the greater Duhallow region, creating and acting a short film based on classic movies and TV shows.

Over the course of two months, teams produced 10 minute short films with local talent and iconic scenes from popular television and film, and the phenomenal list of choices were revealed at a launch event.

The lead up has been busy; from rehearsals to promotional events, undergoing filming and organising many different fundraising activities in aid of their films. But it has proven the heart and soul of community spirit. It’s not just one night of awards and performances; it’s a journey that brings together individuals, businesses, and local talents for a common cause.

The films will be showcased on Friday the 26th of April at the Charleville Park Hotel where the community comes together in celebration of their collective efforts and judges will decide on the award winners in a festive, Oscar-themed setting.
