The local group who enjoys their Honda bikes and raising funds for local charities, presented a cheque to Ballymahon Action Group.

Ballymahon Niftys recently raised €7,800 during their Ballymahon Honda 50 & Motorbike Fun Run and they decided to donate the proceeds towards a new playground in the South Longford town.

The local group who enjoys their Honda bikes and raising funds for local charities, presented a cheque to Ballymahon Action Group at an event held at Peter Hanley Motors last Monday evening.

Committee member Darren Mulledy said it was a great community event which was supported by their biker friends from all over Ireland.

He stated Ballymahon Niftys would like to thank all businesses who made financial contributions and businesses that donated great prizes for both raffles.

Darren added, “Ballymahon is a great little town and always comes up trumps.

"All the funds raised local will stay local and will help the committee to get Ballymahon their much needed playground.

“I appeal to all elected representatives to help make this a reality.

"The children of Ballymahon and surrounding areas need a safe space to play and to develop.”

Darren gave a special word of thanks to Peter and David Hanley of Peter Hanley Motors for hosting their bike event each year and he said without their support they could not hold it.

"We were delighted to have Fabworx Ltd as our main sponsor for this year’s event, their sponsorship and support was greatly appreciated by our committee."

Darren also gave a special word of thanks to the 'three great bike shops in Tullamore who always donate great prizes for our bikers raffle, Terence Healy Motorcycles, Kcmotorcycles Tullamore and Central motorcycles'.

He said they really appreciate the continued support.

"To everyone who helped in any way on the day, we really appreciate your help.

"Because of you our event ran smoothly.

"So on behalf of Ballymahon Niftys Committee : Mike,Carol and Darren we like to thank everyone for your continued support."
