PRIDE OF PLACE AWARDS 2023
A Date for Your Diary:
The judges for the National Pride of Place Awards 2023 shall arrive in Avoca on Wednesday morning 6th September. As one of four entrants from Wicklow in this years awards we are proud to present our project titled ‘Avoca – Stepping Forward Together”. The project outlines the tremendous community effort on three fronts in recent times; to arrange and deliver meals to those most in need around our village during the Covid pandemic; the extension to the Red Kite Walk and the Rooster Park Walking Track & Viewing area. The judges will arrive at the Avoca Handweavers Mill at 9.30am for a short tour of the renowned weaving hall before going to the Community Hall at 10.00am for the project presentation. They will then be taken to the Red Kite Walk and Rooster Park to view the work completed. Everyone is most welcome to attend the Community Hall at 10.00am for the presentation and the larger the turn-out the better so the judges can see the community support. Representatives from all the following groups; Avoca Tidy Towns, Avoca Active Retirement, Avoca ICA, Avoca GAA & Ladies GAA Clubs, Avoca Camogie Club, St. Patricks Soccer Club, Avoca Scouts 14thWicklow Avoca, Light up Avoca, The Vale of Avoca Mens Shed, Community Hall Group, Wicklow Miners Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann and Avoca Senior Citizens Committee are especially welcome and please wear your club or group colours/uniform to add to the occasion.
