FIRST STEPS in fundraising efforts for St Mochulla’s National School and Tulla Camogie Club hit the catwalk next Saturday.
St Mochulla’s NS Board of Management Chairperson, Angela Byrnes explained, “Our objective is to develop an all-weather pitch at the National School, so that our children have the facilities to play sports all year round. In today’s world this is ever more important for their wellbeing and health and a key part of our Active School Policy. The project will cost approximately €120,000 but as we know this is increasing as we write”.
A grant of €45,000 has been secured via the Sports Capital Grant but the remainder must be obtained through fundraisers.
As part of these efforts, a fashion show will be held in St Joseph’s Secondary School, Tulla on Saturday February 18th.

We will also be hosting a Best Dressed Person competitor, so be sure to put on your best outfits on the night. On arrival guests will be treated to champagne reception, which can be enjoyed while browsing the art and craft exhibition provided by local artists”.
