THE GATHERING
Camp Cash Cow event to be held on Sunday August 4th. is Camp’s answer to the Gathering. So all you family and friends of Camp far and wide, mark that date in your diary and help us to make it a great day and a great fundraising event for our Community Sports Field. Camp Community Council are organising a huge array of events on the day, Dog Show, Novelty Sports for Adults and children, Soccer, Penalty Shoot Out and lots more. A barbeque in the field so no need to cook dinner that day ! Its a day out for all the family. Tickets to partake in the Cash Cow Event are E10.00 and every penny goes to the Community Sports Development fund. Guess the spot where the cow does her business on the day and the winner will receive E500.00. Well worth a guess !!
CAMP UNITED NIGHT AT THE DOGS
Camp United Soccer enjoyed a great night at the Dogs at The Greyhound Stadium in Tralee on Saturday night last. Afterwards they all went down town to see “Turf” playing in The Blasket Pub.
