Awards night surprise for KCA

The tables were turned on Kilcullen Community Action last night when KCA itself was presented with an award at the annual Community Awards Night which the group organises.

Sabina Reddy 'hijacked' the event just as KCA's Noel Clare was wrapping up the proceedings. After she had expressed the appreciation of the community for all the work KCA does, a special presentation was made to the group by James Nolan.



Earlier, awards had been presented to individuals and groups to acknowledge their contributions to life in Kilcullen.

They were Rose McMahon, Badminton Club; Anne Quigley, Community Games; the Carer & Toddler Group; the River Festival Committee; and the Bridge Camphill Community.

The local Tidy Towns awards were also presented on the night, including a special award for Alan Lacey who works on the Community Employment Scheme and has been responsible for major visual improvements to the approaches to Kilcullen and the Valley Park.
