Bree Community Centre
Refurbishment Centre Committee deeply appreciate the support of all those who took part in
their Lotto Syndicate. Although winnings may be smaller than hoped for, Bree Community
Centre is €69,000 the richer due to this Lotto. All cheques were issued during the
week. At a recent meeting the Committee expressed delight with the total local
contribution of €115,000 raised thus far but regret that no official notice of any
grant aid has been received. Locals are asked to raise this matter with canvassers in the
lead up to the June European and local elections. Upcoming events in aid of the
Refurbishment Project are a 'Fun Marathon Relay' on Sunday, 5th July from 6-8pm around the
newly developed GAA Walkway and 'Bree Fair Day' with lots of visiting and local
attractions on the August Bank Holiday, 3rd August. The next Refurbishment meeting takes
place on the 22nd June.
