ALL-IRELAND WEEKEND; GOOD LUCK TO THE LIMERICK TEAM & MENTORS.

OPEN INVITE:

Friday 20th Aug: 12pm - 3pm. Family Fun Day - getting to know the Glasha river.

Reminding all local families to give a call to see the Maigue Rivers Trust display which will be set up outside the school. All our rivers are precious resources and need to be looked after. Joining representatives of the Trust on the day, will be members of the Inland Fisheries and Teagasc's ASSAP advisor, Padraig Fitzgerald. For the children there will be a nature walk, nature drawing and trays of the different river animals on display.
