Buzz at Community & Sports expo
Despite the woeful weather, there was a really good buzz around last night's Community & Sports Clubs Open Evening, writes Brian Byrne.
The event in the Community Centre was organised by PJ Fagan, and highlight items included a talk by the development officer of the Muintir na Tire Community Alert Scheme, Margaret Quinn. Crime Prevention Officer Sgt Conor McMahon from Naas Garda Station spoke on the need for taking security precautions in the home, and Cllr Ivan Keatley considered the benefits of volunteering in local organisations.
Among the organisations who exhibited were the Kilcullen Badminton Club, Maintain Hope, Kilcullen Community Playgroup, the Kildare Steiner School, the GAA Juveniles, Kilcullen Bowls Club, the Lions, Kilcullen Community Action, Red Cross, the Boxing Club, St Bridget's Pitch & Putt Club, the Canoe Club, Kilcullen Credit Union, St Vincent de Paul, Kilcullen Scouts and the Community Centre.
