See photos as Wicklow village hosts sunny annual community day
Today at 09:00
It was the turn of Newtownmountkennedy to host a family fun day last week, with the day of free activities aimed at supporting the Newtown Area Sports Development team and raising awareness of their efforts.
The group seeks to develop the established Matt Kelly Community Grounds in the town so that the grounds themselves are fit for serving the sports community and that the space includes facilities like dressing rooms, toilets and storage.
Bouncy castles, fun fair games and five-a-side took centre stage on an action-packed day, with donations towards the sports ground project welcomed.
They will be hosting a fancy dress spinathon on Saturday, October 25 outside Dunnes Store, and their AGM takes place on Tuesday, September 7 at the Parkview Hotel.
An online fundraiser has already raised in excess of €52,000 and can be supported via idonate.ie/fundraiser/nasdfund
