It's going on for the month of June. It's great aul craic.

There are different days and nights that each team have to as many people as possible taking part in different events

Sa far we've had the Pub Olympics night (Darts, 45, Set Dancing, Draughts, Rings, Wii, Bridge)

The Sports Day (5k Run, Lawnmower Grand Prix, Slow Bicycle Race, Tug o War, Egg Throwing, Donkey Derby)

The Wet Day (200m Swim, Raft Races, Various Boat/Canoe Races)

This aturday night we are having a local version of Take me out

And the final big competition night is at the end of June when each of the 3 teams has to put on a half hour variety show.
