On your marks for the Garrykennedy 10k

We're just days away from the Garrykennedy 10k Fun Run/Walk!

This year's event will be held on Saturday May 21st at Larkin's, Garrykennedy. The event will kick off from Garrykennedy village (beside the woods) at 4pm and there will be bouncy castles/slide and entertainment for the kids with face painting, kiddies' disco and lots of fun and games to keep them occupied.

Our Giant Jenga has arrived (for the big kids) along with our Giant Connect 4, Tin Can Alley and Mini Jenga for the kids. There will also be a draw for several great prizes on the night, with music by Teresa and Brendan with members of the Larkin/O’Connor family.

Volunteers needed: We still need volunteers to act as stewards and also people to man the water-stations, so if you are interested and available, please call Anna on 086 413 5555 or alternatively contact Simon Ryan (chief steward) at Garrykennedy. Sincere thanks to all those who have volunteered already.
