Easter Egg Hunt

Huge thanks to everyone for helping out with the children’s Easter egg hunt today at Brabazon Woods. This is the 7th year of the egg hunt and was by far the largest to date! This would not be possible every year without our very generous sponsors, Derek Kennedy – EuroSpar, Gavaghan’s – Mace, Corrib Oil – Swinford, Applegreen – Swinford, Mellett’s Newsagents & Kevin Murtagh – Taxi. Thanks to our volunteers on the day, Swinford Foroige Club & Swinford Tidy Towns.
