tidy towns -- club & community clean-up day

It's almost here 😁😉

In 2021 and 2022, Strokestown Tidy Towns Group has held an annual "Club and Community Clean Up Day".

These have been huge successes thanks to 👉YOU👈

For 2023 we are again asking that ALL Strokestown clubs, groups, businesses and residents give just ONE HOUR to oversee a litter pick, a tidy-up and/or a maintenance session in your club.

Happening SATURDAY, JUNE 3rd ... starting 1pm on BAWN STREET

* Sign on from 12:45 *
* Collect a bib *
* Give 1 hour of work *
* Get a burger/hotdog and drinks *

From Kiltrustansports Club out to Franks Bar ... from Strokestown Show (happening in September) through to Strokestown Poetry Festival (whose amazing weekend has just kicked off the Strokestown Summer Season of events) ... let's all pull together and build on the efforts already made.

Are you a resident in a housing estate? Organise a clean up day on your own estate and get those jobs done as part of a bigger effort.

Sliabh Báwn Community Amenity Group is currently working on a similar event that will include Scramogue Tidy Towns, Cloontuskert Tidy Towns and Ballyleague Tidy Towns.

Go on - ask the question ...

**Why would we do that? Why should we get involved?**

You've seen the efforts Strokestown Tidy Town Group has been putting in over the last year:

* new community bins;
* improved support from Roscommon County Council with increased street sweeping;
* additional, superb, TUS/CE/RSS team members out and about on a daily basis;
* planting around Strokestown;
* linking with community groups - helping to provide them with their own flags giving them the opportunity to "Fly their Flag" in Strokestown Grotto;
* the Christmas Tractor Run ...

... Now we'd like YOUR help.

Oh ... AND there'll be GOOD FOOD !!!!!! After the hour we will have hotdogs, burgers and drinks for all participants who get involved.

We look forward to seeing you and all the kids in their jerseys on the day representing their club and yours.
