Inclusion Louth, the local support group for families of those with intellectual disabilities is to wind up its operations at the end of the year. The group held its final Family Fun Day in Blackrock Haggardstown Community Centre where 200 family members, young and old had a wonderful afternoon. 

The highlight of the day for the children and adults alike, were the amusements provided by Pelican Promotions, also facepainting for the young and Tommy Trickster the wonderful magician who entertained all with his magic show. Paul Callan of Louth Disability Cycling Club brought out several Trishaws – and provided wheelchair users with exciting bicycle spins around nearby Blackrock Park.

Marty McGuigan, a Disability Cycling volunteer, did DJ and provided a great atmosphere. Delicious food was supplied by Conlon Food Hall. Ice-cream cones 99’s went down a treat and crisps and minerals were also donated by a local sponsor. The Selfie Mirror photographs were a great success and partygoers took home a lovely memento of their enjoyable day. 

Chairman Eoghan Bailey thanked his committee and the many volunteers including those of Blackrock Haggardstown Community Centre for helping to make the day such a wonderful success.
