SLIGO CAMINO

As you can imagine it takes a lot of work behind the scenes and this is all done by volunteers. If you have a couple of hours to spare on July 7 we would really appreciate your help. There are a lot of roles to be filled from marshalling, helping at food stops, helping with the catering in the community centre etc.
Every euro collected through this event goes back into the community so if you can do your bit to help Coolaney grow and prosper we would really appreciate it.
