The excellent St. Joseph’s GFC was the venue for the 2023 Dromiskin Tidy Towns annual Houses and Garden Awards. The club was warmly thanked for making their facilities available as the winners of this popular community event were announced. Niall Lambert, manager Ardee Credit Union, sponsor of the awards, was present to make the presentations along with members of Dromiskin Tidy Towns. The appreciation of all present was expressed for the Credit Union’s continued support in the community and Mr Lambert in turn assured the attendance of their ongoing commitment to encouraging and supporting local community groups. The participants in this year’s competition were praised for the efforts made in presenting their properties to the highest possible standard.
