Newtown Juniors on 14th March staged a fundraiser in aid of the club & Pieta House. With a loan of 2 Spinning Bikes from the Glenview Hotel Leisure Centre we had 38 half hour slots to fill & fill them we did. Thanks to the generosity of the customers from Dunnes Stores we raised just short of €2,500. We have many people to thank for the success of this venture and those who contributed in any way on the day.
