Getting Geared up for Summer...


So the good weather has come and gone just in time for the weekend, but that won't stop us at Council getting ready for summer...


We've packaged all our events together and are delighted to offer our residents and visitors a packed schedule to suit all tastes. See your copy of Update magazine which will be delivered to your door week beginning 19th May.


The Mayor's Pageant is somewhat different this year - instead of the usual parade, Mayor Barry Monteith will host a staged event in Market Square on Bank Holiday Monday 26th May. THe fun includes performances from all our local theatre groups in a showcase of Dungannon and South Tyrone's finest talent. Watch this space for further details...


This Monday 12th May, Council will host a Breastfeeding Awareness Day from 12noon to 2.30pm. Last year, Council declared all its buildings and venues as breastfeeding friendly zones and we hope to further enforce this message.


We'll also be promoting life after smoke free legislation - remember drivers, you cannot smoke behind the wheel if your vehicle is used for business purposes!


We'll have our local launch for UTV Countryfest at Dungannon Park on Thursday from 11.30am where local line dancers will strut their stuff for the tv cameras to promote Ireland's biggest country and western festival which comes to town on 2nd and 3rd August. Tickets are now available locally at Dungannon Leisure Centre (Tel 028 8772 0370) or from any ticketmaster outlet. Visit http://www.jwpromos.com/ for a full line up for this fab event!


Its blue bin week from Monday 12th May -more news next Friday!
