The Annual General Meeting of Clonown Community Centre Committee will take place on Tuesday 9th April at 8.30pm.
Clonown Church Refurbishment Collection
Thanks to the generosity of the people from Clonown and surrounding areas and friends of Clonown, the second collection for the church refurbishment will finish on Easter Sunday. However, people can still give donations towards seats in the church. It has been suggested that there will be a second collection for the month of April, the proceeds of which will go towards the maintenance of the graveyard, as funding from Roscommon County Council has been drastically reduced.
Clonown Community Alert
Clonown branch of Community Alert wish to thank all those who contributed to the recent church collection. A total of €175 was raised. Community Alert is under the umbrella of Muintir na Tíre but the money collected in Clonown will go towards providing alarms etc in the Clonown area.

The 4th annual 10K run/walk will take place in Clonown on Sunday 28 April. A generous prize fund exists and there will be spot prizes on the day. The same 10K route will be used as last year but in reverse order, which means the finishing line will be at the community centre, where the renowned tea, sandwiches and hospitality will be available after the race. The routes are very flat through beautiful countryside and are ideal for those aiming for a personal best or those completing their first 5k or 10k run. Starting times as follows: 1.30pm for 10K walk; 2.30pm for 5K run; 3pm for 10k run. Please allow at least 30 minutes to register before the start.
