PRIDE OF PLACE SKERRIES – AGE FRIENDLY TOWN INITIATIVE

Fingal County Council has submitted the Skerries Age Friendly Town Initiative into Cooperation Ireland’s ‘Pride of Place’ competition. The judging takes place on Thursday 21st July from 10 am until 12.30. After we give them a presentation of our full programme initiative we will bring them to various places in the town to show what has been done. We will have nice Music in Floraville during the morning. This music will be provided a local group and some of the Restaurants will provide some finger food. Come along and enjoy the morning. There will also be a fitness instructor from Fingal County Council at the exercise machines on the beach displaying how to make the best use of them.

We cannot guarantee the weather but hope there will be a buzz around the town and let the Judges see how we enjoy the facilities that are in the town.
