Hugely successful 2017 Swinford Spring Clean

We had another hugely successful 2017 Swinford Spring Clean on Good Friday last. In previous years we managed to collect between 30 and 45 bags of rubbish and recycling. This year however, the amount of rubbish to be collected was way way down on previous years, which we think is a huge success! In total 21 bags were collected, 15 rubbish and 6 for recycling. We also found one traffic cone, in 2 parts, which we will up-cycle and use in the tidy towns here in Swinford.

Swinford Tidy Towns take part in the Annual National Spring Clean campaign every year. We hold our Spring Clean on the Good Friday morning. We usually meet at 11 am on the Good Friday morning at the No Name Club on Chapel Street. If you would like to help us out anytime, we meet every Saturday morning at 11 AM all year round and during the summer months (when the time changes) every Wednesday evening at 7 PM, meet at the No Name Club on Chapel Street.

Heartfulness, Relaxation and Meditation

This workshop will take place on Monday May 8th at 7pm in the Parochial House Swinford. Free and open to all over 16 years.  Contact  086 0700681 if you require further information.
