TIDY TOWNS AWARDS What a day for Geashill in Croke Park - with Tidy Towns winning the County Award and a Gold Medal, while Raheen GAA Bravehearts descended from the sky. We achieved 396 marks, a massive increase of 12 over last year and just 4 behind the overall winners Carrick-on-Shannon.

There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.

We are delighted to have been awarded 334 points in this years National #TidyTowns competition. Thank you to everyone that helped out in any way. Judging however, took place quite early in Swinford. Please read through the full report here; swinfordtidytowns.com/national-tid...
