Julianstown Foroige Youth Club has been in existence for ten years.  The club is hoping to start back again this September however it desperately needs new leaders!  Dwindling membership in the latter years is also a factor in the clubs future.

We are holding a meeting on Friday, 7^th September for all young people 12 years plus interested in joining the club and any adults who may be interested in helping out in the club.

The level of interest on the evening of both young people to join and adults to help out will decide the future of the club.  If you have any interest in saving the club from closing please attend!
