Club Weekly Notes January 2018

Below are this week's notes. Thank you for your continued support.

St. Stephen's Day 5K Club Results
Our club road race was a great success and we must express our thanks to our race organisers and volunteers who helped out on the day. It takes almost 30 volunteers to support this race, so without your help we would be unable to keep this annual event going, now in its 56th year. 
A sincere thanks to all our main sponsors: 
Moriarty's Centra Foodstore; DUNNES Killarney; 
Angasana Resort & Spa; Mailboxes etc, Killarney;
 AIB & TwoaFit, Killorglin.
