FORÓIGE CLUB

Mayo Abbey Foróige club is not starting at present due to a lack of new adult leaders coming forward. For further information, contact 087 27 43 067. New leaders are urgently needed to ensure the continuation of the club. It is for the benefit of the children that parents and others interested in helping are encouraged to participate.
