As you know this Saturday 22 June and Sunday 23 June Upperchurch Drombane and District Development are organising a 24 hour walk on The Bog. Our Bog Walk has proved to be a fantastic amenity in our community since 2014. On Saturday and Sunday as a culmination of our recent fundraising to Light the Bog we will celebrate the Bog Walk's importance to the local community.
To ensure that we have walkers on the bog over the 24 hours we have invited Clubs and groups in the Parish to join us. We also hope to see as many families as possible join us over the 24 hours just come along at a time that suits you.
