Sadly, we lost one of our members this week with the passing of John Sheekey (RIP).
John was a popular guy in the group and was always up for having fun. He always had a smile on his face.
We will miss you John and hope that you are smiling down on us all here.

This week we commenced Walking Football sessions on Tuesday in Ballybough Community Centre. 8 of the men took part and had great fun while also being active.
