Moville pupils jingle all the way
for charity
20.12.13
BIG-HEARTED Moville
Community College braved stormy elements this week
for the school's annual charity Jingle Bells Race.
Students, staff, past pupils and members of the
local community gathered on the shore at Lafferty's
Lane on a windswept morning to take part in the
event.
The shore path race, organised every year by the PE
Department of the college has two main aims - to
have fun and raise funds for local charities
nominated by the students. |

Moville Community College pupils,
past pupils and staff, brave the elements for the
school's Jingle Bells Race 2013. |
This year's race was
the thirteenth in the series.
"This event is an all-school affair with every
member of the school community encouraged to take
part either walking, running, jogging, skipping or
crawling from Lafferty's Lane to the college. All
runners are supplied with bells which they tie to
their runners and create a little jingle as they run
the course," said a spokesperson.
Despite the wet and windy conditions on the day, all
taking part had "a great day out" and on return were
rewarded with refreshments supplied by the college.
"Well done to all involved in the organisation of
the event and all those who took part or assisted in
any way. As a result of all your hard work the
coffers of some local charities will jingle with the
funds raised. Merry Christmas and a peaceful new
year to one and all."
