FIT 4 LIFE.

This year the Club helped to organise a Fit 4 Life group . The Group meets every Friday Night at Liscarroll Community Centre at 8.00.pm. The purpose of forming this group was to give people who want to do exercise & not get involved in competitive athletics a chance to meet & go for a run, jog, or walk at a pace suited to themselves.

If you are interested turn up any Friday Night at Liscarroll Community Centre at 8 o'Clock or contact 022-48302.
