ANGELA BURNS MEMORIAL
10K:
The annual Angela Burns Memorial 10K Fun Run/Walk will take
place on Sunday April 24th at 11am starting from the Ferrybank GAA

brighter, now is the time to get out and about to prepare yourself for the day.
Ferrybank Road Runners meet in the GAA field every Tuesday & Thursday night
at 7pm, and everyone is most welcome to come along and enjoy a leisurely run
out.

shoes, belts, handbags, curtains, towels, soft toys etc., or any old mobile
phones or laptops (please keep mobile phones and laptops separate from clothing
items), you can drop them down to the GAA grounds on Saturday mornings from
10am to 2pm. The closing date will be Saturday April 2nd.
