Dough makes money

The Foróige Cake sale was a huge a success last Sunday. The Coachford based youth group organised and ran a very professional Cake Sale and Coffee Morning and provided all those present with some gorgeous cakes, buns and brown bread. The members aged between 12 and 15yrs set up the hall, sold raffle tickets, organised prizes, served tea and coffee, sold the cakes and most importantly, cleaned up the whole place after them. The event raised over €500 for the club. Well done to all involved.
