COMMUNITY GAMES
Our annual end of year disco will be held on Friday, November 11, to acknowledge the participation of so many children in the various Community Games competitions during the past 12 months. This will take place at 7 p.m. in the Spellman Hall, Kildavin.
The evening will start with the presentation of medals to the winners of our area competition in handwriting, model making and art which took place at the beginning of the year. The members of our club who represented club and county at the national finals will also be presented with a trophy to recognise their achievements. Following the presentations there will be a disco for all young and old – this promises to be a disco with a difference.
This night is a celebration of participation in our various events and we want to see each and every one of the children who were involved with our club during the year at our end of year party. A raffle will be held on the night and we are asking parents to donate child centred spot prizes and to contribute generously to the raffle on the evening.
