Local Midlands walking club support Offaly Down Syndrome Ireland branch

Last Thursday Roscrea Trail Blazers had another well-attended walk on at The Lough Boora Parklands.

Weather on the night was overcast and showery but this didn't stop the group from enjoying this 9km flat walk. Well done to all that made the effort.

Last Saturday they held their annual Charity walk and this year it was in aid of The Offaly branch of The Down Syndrome Association (full report in next week's notes).

They have a packed 2025 ahead with several trips overseas and lots of challenge walks over the coming months.
