Thank you to everyone who came to support the table quiz tonight where we presented the cheque to the charity recipients of this years fundraising efforts. A grand total of €8,334 was raised from both the Family Fun Day and table quiz in JJs memory.
Congratulations to the winning team! It was a very tough competition.
Thank you so much to Tullow Mens Shed and Irish Kidney Association for coming tonight with teams and we were delighted to present them with their cheques. Forward Steps will also receive a cheque donation.
Thank you to Padraig 'beany' Murphy Mark Behan and Nicola Cosgrove for running the quiz and to Daltons Bar for hosting. And a final word of thanks to our sponsors DNG McCormack Carlow/Clane and Dolmen Insurance and to all the local business who supported with raffle prizes tonight and on the family fun day.

JJ would be very proud ❤️
