Tour de Munster      "On Thursday 12th August 2010 a team of "Leisure" Cyclists will commence a demanding four-day 600km charity cycle which will take them through all the counties of Munster.  Participants in the 2010 Tour de Munster will each collect individual sponsorship and the tour will be accompanied by volunteers who hope to leverage the event with collections in cities, towns and villages along the route.  Everyone participating in the event covers their own costs and all funds raised will go directly to Down Syndrome Ireland.

Down Syndrome Ireland is the chosen beneficiary for this the tenth edition of the Tour de Munster. It is an organisation of people with Down Syndrome, their parents and guardians. Their goal is to help people with Down Syndrome make their own futures as bright and independent as possible by providing them with education, support and friendship every step of the way. Their aims include the provision of parental counselling, appropiate educational facilities for children with Down Syndrome and a forum where parents and guardians can meet to exchange views and ideas. It is funded by voluntary contributions and events organised by members. From modest beginnings in 1971, it has now grown to over 3000 member families with 25 branches nationwide."

Easter Fun in City Square

Children had a ball in City Square   Easter Saturday with lots of entertainment. Well done to all who entered the Gold Bunny Hunt.  A draw was made at 4pm and the winner got a huge Lindt Gold Bunny weighing 1kg.

The real fun started at 1pm on Easter Saturday when children met with Easter Bunny, Mickey  & Minnie Mouse and friends. There was FREE face painting and helium balloons from the Beat Fleet. The Easter Bunny handed  out mini Easter eggs to all the children.

All the budding artists decorated their own plates and mugs at the “Paint Me” stand in the mall. There were rare and wonderful designs created.
