Finally, we usually take up a collection, before Christmas, for our Thursday night session caretaker, who looks after our gear and makes sure the water is hot for showers etc. We forgot to do so in Dec, anyone who would like to make a small donation can do so at training on Thursday next or at our AGM, also on Thursday or pass on to Jason during the week.

Athletics Wicklow Notice

The Athletics Wicklow Star Awards will take place in the De le Salle Pastoral Centre in Wicklow Town this coming  Friday  Jan 16th @ 8.00pm.

Directions: For those attending on the night, please park at the Church in Wicklow Town, turn right at Delahunts Hardware (on main street just past Grand Hotel Junction), go up the hill and its on the left you cant miss it. From the Church you walk in the back gate to the Pastoral Centre, Inbhear Dee will have officials on duty to assist / direct . Parking at the centre is really bad but the church has loads.  A lot of effort goes into putting the Awards Night on and it makes it even better when all recipients are present to accept their well earned recognition.

Many thanks to Inbhear Dee for hosting this prestigious evening, it is certainly one of the highlights of our athletics year. Please do come along and support our athletes on this evening of celebration.
