CELEBRATE COMMUNITY SPIRIT AT NEWMARKET CLUBS DAY!

Newmarket Clubs Day Is A Hit!

The Newmarket Community Clubs Day, was held in The Culturlann on Sunday 19th January 2024. This event provided a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the diverse range of clubs, organisations and committees that contribute to the local community. The purpose of the day was to showcase the activities and initiatives of these groups, attendees had the chance to connect with local groups, discover new interests, and consider joining as members. The event was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the diverse activities and initiatives that make our community thrive.

A total of 25 clubs/ groups attended, each bringing energy and creativity to share. Their participation played a key role in the event’s success, offering attendees a chance to connect with local groups and discover the many ways to get involved.

We thank IRD Duhallow for generously providing refreshments. A special thank you also to The Cultúrlann for providing the fantastic venue and the CYMS for additional tables.

Finally, our thanks go to the clubs/groups themselves for their active involvement and dedication. Events like this highlight the strength of our community, and we look forward to seeing these clubs continue to grow and thrive with the support of new members. Thank you to everyone who made the day such a success!

Further work is continuing in this regard, a Community Meeting (open to all) will be scheduled in the coming weeks to provide further updates.
