MP joins in the fun at “The Reach”
Carla Lockhart MP • August 8, 2023
Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart joined over 300 young people at Killicomaine Junior High for the annual Sports Fun Week organised by “The Reach”.
Speaking after attending the event, the DUP representative said:
“The Reach Sports Fun Week is a brilliant initiative by Bethany Free Presbyterian Church, and huge credit must go to the band of volunteers who give of their time over the week to host this event and ensure the children and young people have a great time.
It is great to see Killicomaine Junior High used for this purpose and so full of life and energy for the week. Parents know that their kids will have a great, safe time at The Reach, and the group is so ably led by such capable and dedicated leaders.
This is now very much an annual fixture for many kids and a much loved week during the summer holidays. Well done to all involved!”
