Part of the fundraising evening will include a leg wax where brave boys from the Chillax Youth Group and Kilkenny Gardai will endure pain for community gain.

The evening the baby of the Loughboy Resource Centre Childcare Service who provide a Pre-School and After School service for 50 children in Loughboy and environs.

The group’s funding has been drastically cut and they have had three staff redundancies this year. However, the resilient group are determined that childcare services should not suffer.

On that score they are calling on parents and friends to support the fundraising night. Tickets are €10 and as well as supporting a good cause, those who lend their support should enjoy a great night of fun and dancing.
