What’s happening Rosslare Community & Sports Centre. It’s been another great Summer here at the Centre; many tennis balls have sailed over the nets (and sometimes beyond!), the crazy golf course has been covered by several hundred sets of flip flops, and the ice-cream fridge has been in overdrive. We were blessed with the weather and all of our scheduled events such as the Field Day, Beach BBQ, Teddy Bears Picnic, Bake Sale and Dip in the Nip all took place. These events would not have happened only for our kind sponsors, volunteers and all the people who came to support the centre. A huge thank you to the centre staff, whose commitment and willingness to go the extra mile when called on, make theses events possible. For September classes, clubs and groups are back for another season and a full listing is available on our website and on Facebook. If you haven’t signed up for your newsletter you can do this on our website and it will keep you up to date with all the latest information around the village and the centre. www.rosslareholidayresort.ie Our future development plans for the centre include a refurbishment of the crazy golf course and an addition of CCTV to public areas.
