Congratulations to all club volunteers on the very successful 2019 Knockmealdown Crossing. Thanks to your effort and the that of the participants the club will be making a donation to charity in May 2019. The committee invites your suggestions as to which charities should benefit. Last year, 2018, we supported SEMRA (€300) and Barrettstown (€100), It is envisaged that similar funds will be available this year.
