Over 30 clubs have so far signed up for the Kerry Clubs Fair which takes place next month.

The event was a big success when it last took place in 2020, when over 700 people dropped in to see what was on offer. Free and open to the public, the fair, taking place on Sunday, February 5 from 2pm – 5pm at Killarney Racecourse, will give people in Kerry an easy way to find out about volunteering opportunities and new activities they can participate in.

Sponsored by Killarney Credit Union, Kerry Clubs Fair is once again being organised by Killarney Lions Club. The aim is to highlight opportunities for people in Kerry to get involved in something new this coming year.

“After the challenges of the last few years, we believe it’s more important than ever to help people find out about clubs and other organisations that are active in their community,” Killarney Lions Club President, Denis Doolan, said.

“So if anyone wants to get involved in something new for fun or recreation, the Kerry Clubs Fair will be well worth a visit.”

BENEFITS

The Killarney Lions Club is hoping that in addition to providing awareness about activities that people can get involved in, the Kerry Clubs Fair will help promote inclusion of people from all backgrounds in their local community, address isolation and highlight the benefits of volunteering to people of all ages.

Karena McCarthy, Marketing & Development with Killarney Credit Union, added that they are delighted to be involved with this event.

"Credit unions pride ourselves on being at the heart of the community and therefore an event like this is a very good fit for us," she said.

"We sponsor and give money to various local clubs and organisations throughout the community and an event such as this gives greater exposure to create new relationships and see what is on offer locally.”

Clubs and societies that are interested in participating can call email killarneylionsclub@gmail.com.

The Killarney Lions Club through its members, assists various groups and individuals in and around the community. Lions do this through voluntary activities, fundraising and by holding various types of events in support of a great many local causes.

Local Hollywood A-lister Michael Fassbender is in the final preparation stages for his second appearance at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The iconic endurance race is celebrating its 100th edition next weekend.

The Fossa star has already arrived in the famous French twon where he is involved in a week-long series of engagements including drivers’ parades, autograph sessions and more serious appointments like car safety checks, practice and qualifying.

Like last year, when he finished 16th in the LMGTE Am class, Fassbender has been entered in to the event by the German Proton Competition team with Estonian Martin Rump and the Austrian Richard Lietz.

Fassbender dreams of following the trajectory of fellow Hollywood actors Patrick Dempsey who was second in LMGTE Am class in 2016 and Paul Newman who finished second overall in 1979.
