Delvin Pioneers are holding a balloon race on Saturday 14th August to raise funds for their group activities.

If you have not yet bought a balloon, this is your last chance! Balloons are €5 each and there will be a €100 prize for the finder of the balloon that travels the furthest, and a further prize of €100 for the seller of that balloon.

The race will begin immediately after the annual cemetery devotions, at approx 8.30pm in the grounds of the Church of the Assumption.

Subject to weather conditions, a full size hot air balloon will be inflated on site so be sure to bring your cameras!

For more information, please contact Michael Leonard (Centre President) on 044 9664484 or call in to the Post Office.
