A reminder that St. Mary’s Basketball Club is sending two teams of boys, U-14 and U-16 to the Euro Youth Basketball Cup games in Barcelona in June.
To help fund the trip, club members are organising a clothes collection day at Castleisland Community Centre car-park tomorrow morning, Thursday, February 15th.
Please note the time change: the event will now be held at the earlier time from 9am to 11am.
The organisers are appealing for support for the fundraising venture and they have a list of ‘collectables’ that they’d most like to get from members of the public on the day.
“The Euro Youth Basketball Cup is bringing teams of boys and girls together from all over the world from from June 14th to 16th and it’s being organised by European Sports Events,” said fundraising group spokesperson Owen Nolan.
Good quality paired shoes, hats, scarves, bed linen, curtains, towels and belts are the most favoured items to donate,” said Owen.
