Clonmellon cyclists finish their 800k

Clonmellon cyclists Barry Clarke and Andy Smith completed the Paris2Nice Challenge of 800km in May. It was a wonderful achievement despite the bad weather and in the process, they raised €2300.

Barry said that sum was possible through the generous support and goodwill of the community in Clonmellon and all their friends and colleagues at St Paul’s Football Club.

Barry and Andy, expressing their thanks and appreciation, said that support gave them motivation to take on the project and complete it, while getting great enjoyment at the same time.

Frank Dillon and Thomas Flynn accepted their donation on behalf of Mullingar Lions Club, and said it was uplifting to be in Clonmellon to experience such kindness and generosity. It was a true reflection of such great community spirit and loyalty among all the people in Clonmellon and St Paul’s. They expressed heartfelt gratitude on behalf of Mullingar Lions Club where such donations make their projects possible.

Frank stated that it was a pleasure and honour for Mullingar Lions Club to have worked with Eugene Dolan on the dinner project over the last year. He paid tribute to the wonderful contribution that Eugene makes to the community, through his help and support.
