NEW INN COMMUNITY CENTRE APPEAL FOR FUNDS
The Community Centre is open again under Covid19 regulations. The building project has been completed and paid for at a cost of €300,000. We have no debt but due to the Pandemic our funds for day-to-day costs, insurance, etc. have been hit hard. We find ourselves in the position for the first time of having to make an appeal and ask you for money toward the upkeep of the Centre. This can be done by making a donation any Friday evening between Friday 14th August and Friday 25th September from 6 p.m. to 8. Members of the committee will be present at the Centre at these times. It will also be possible to donate through our new web page newinncommunitycentre.com. A third option is to donate electronically to the NICC bank account and any committee member will be able to assist you with details. You can also donate directly to any committee member. Receipts will be issued. During these difficult times our options for fund-raising are limited and we would very much appreciate your support.

GREYHOUND NEWS
All eyes were on Clonmel Greyhound Stadium last Sunday night as the final of the €17,000 to the winner Larry O’Rourke National Produce Stakes took centre stage and with the pressure very much on the 4/5 favourite New Inn Taylor. It was a great night for local breeder Shari Anne O Donnell and her family who bred the sensational New Inn Taylor who went on to win the produce stakes final for owner Simon Taylor in Clonmel. He is now unbeaten winning 12 races from 12 starts. The New Inn Kennels bred two of the finalists, New Inn Taylor and Doolin Duke and for New Inn Taylor to win and Doolin Duke to come in a gallant third was fantastic. Both are trained by local trainer Graham Holland & family from Golden so great achievement for both Families
