NEWTOWNCASHEL PLAYGROUND
We are nearing the final construction stage of our beautiful playground but as the grass seeds were sown last week,it is imperative that NO ONE enters the site for the next 3-4 weeks as walking on it will completely ruin all of the grass! We now urge all parents to warn their kids to please stay away until the attached signs are taken down off the gates and fencing! We have all waited such a long time for this facility so another month won't kill any of us but it will kill the grass!

TUG OF WAR IN CASHEL
Newtowncashel playground committee hold a fundraiser on Sunday 1st May at 2.30pm with tug of war, BBQ, family fun day and music by Andy Feery in The Local that evening! We are nearing the final stages of our community playground so this is the final push to having a beautiful facility on our doorstep! Your support would be greatly appreciated!
