Cosmos FC recently held their OsKaRs night. As we go to press we're not sure of the results.

Braving the weather and dark evenings the Taylors Chubby Chappies and Pink Ladies are into their 2nd month following the 8 week Operation Transformation program. Quite a crowd are attending the 7pm Mon to Fri group walks starting from Taylors Johnstown.

The weigh-ins take place Friday night and all eyes are on the group's tally. Will they beat last year's record weight loss?

Great to see them stand out in the darkness and to join in simply pop along one evening.

Last November we asked for your suggestions and in mid January we had the pleasure of seeing the Taylors Walking Group, who are sponsoring the feature, switch on the Johnstown Tidy Towns roundabout light installation.

The lights are not too bright or they'll distract motorists and they'll only be there whilst the evenings are dark.

Hopefully this will inspire a sponsor to create something more spectacular for next Christmas.

A new local Facebook Page has formed about helping your mental health.

"As an ordinary person it is difficult to get the message out there and let people read & hear about the ordinary man or woman and what they have done to make improvements on their Mental Fitness.

The language around Mental Health needs to change to reflect a more positive approach to dealing with it. We can all work on our Mental Fitness we just need to find the program that works for YOU! "

"Johnstown Tidy Towns were awarded the Endeavour Award for Co Meath in the 2018 SuperValu Tidy Towns Competition.

The Johnstown Tidy Towns Committee would like to thank our main sponsor's Smith's SuperValu in Johnstown for their continued support since our establishment back in 2016.

We were delighted tonight to present our award to Denis Smith, Dane Smith, and Fiona McQuail of Smith's SuperValu in Johnstown."

After 1 month the newly formed Johnstown Kenpo Karate is gathering even more members.

As with all the activities within the St Stephens National School Hall it is very clear that there is a demand for activities within the local area that are actually within walking distance of residents homes.

Owned and operated by a Johnstown Family we're delighted to see the Crystal Cafe on Watergate Street, Navan finally reopen for evening Tapas.

What should have been a 3 month closure for interior renovations resulted in a two year pause for the evening menu.

We wish them every success.

Parents are shocked by news of the recent announcement to close Lolo Town.

Popular with parents with young children the Beechmount Industrial Estate Activity Centre closed their doors for the last time on Sunday 3rd Feb.

It is believed that the dramatic rise in insurance premiums for children's activities has played a significant part in their decision to close.

We wonder how many other centres and activities will be forced down the same route.

Ask your children to explain what they've seen and that way you'll discover what they actually use the app for and if they are at risk.
