Congratulations to everyone who has finally finished the Leaving Cert! We wish you all a wonderful summer.
This issue is packed with daytime meetups, classes, and activities; there's live music all week, and even the chance to relive the glory of Italia '90 with Packie Bonner.
We're still looking for distribution volunteers so we can go on holidays.
We also need your donations to print the guide and keep promoting our town and all it has to offer. Donate with Revolut to help keep promoting our town and all it has to offer. G’wan, give us a few quid!
A special thank you goes to IMRO for their generous donation.
