We've had a brief flurry but nothing compared to last year but if we do get some snow then send us your photos and perhaps we'll have another competition.

Community Sports Hub Navan are back for 6 weeks at St Stephen's National School every Thursday evening with 2 classes for our younger children.

Blackwater park is having an outdoor gym funded by an initiative from Meath County Council and Meath LSP.

Perhaps this is something which could be dotted around Navan South as a fitness trail?

The River Boyne is almost a hidden local feature. Recently Meath River Rescue were called to assist an individual in the water and when we took this 360 photo several weeks ago the life ring was missing.

We urge anyone who passes over any bridge to check it's there and if needed contact Meath River Rescue for it to be found and replaced.

A missing ring could result in a lost life.

Ideas Wanted

Tidy Towns are looking for your ideas for this year's local improvement projects.

Competition entry forms aren't submitted until May but planning goes on throughout the year.

If you have an idea or suggestion send them in.

Our local Smith's SuperValu in the Johnstown Shopping Centre has won the coveted 2019 award for Ireland's "SuperValu Store of the Year".

We think this is so well deserved.

It's just over a year since the store had its makeover to create a great shopping experience. Whilst other supermarkets are considering removing service counters in favour of plastic tray fridges we think the Butcher, Baker and Deli counters add so much character, personality and provide a great service.

We're also delighted at their recyclable fruit and veg bags, promotion of reusable coffee cups and all round reduction in waste.

Well done to all the staff.

Who's going to the Navan St Patrick's Day parade this year?

Perhaps you're taking part?

Mother's Day is at the month's end and we'd like to ask all the children to make Mum even Happier by shopping locally to keep her friends, family and neighbours in jobs.

A huge number of you are taking part in Taylor's walking group and will compete the 8 week operation Transformation program mid month. You're very welcome to join them 7pm weekdays outside Taylors Johnstown.

We're looking forward to hearing their results at the awards Saturday 30th at Taylors Johnstown.

Local football club fans will know to bookmark the NECSL page to discover the latest fixtures and results.

Some of the local junior clubs have sent us their training times if your children want to be involved. Quite a few are now in our Regular events listing

Navan RFC recently had a good article in the national paper.

Silver Screen Event

The OsKaRs Fundraiser hosted by Navan Cosmos FC @ The Newgrange Hotel with lots of pictures and results appearing on their Facebook Page

Navan Tidy Towns

Fantastic to have Navan represented by 2 Tidy Town groups forming within as many weeks. We think they're going to merge and double their potential.

Johnstown Tidy Towns falls within Navan but with all entries a boundary line needs to be identified to represent the community involved.

Bee more friendly

We should shortly begin to see more Bees in our gardens and it's vital we mind them better.

Toxic Waste

It's time we sorted out the increasing mess left behind by careless dog walkers who are putting our health at risk.

We're looking to support Tidy Towns and encourage everyone to clean up, take responsibility and stop the spread of disease.

Do You Love Navan

Intrigued we recently went along to the first public meeting of #lovenavan at St Mary's Community Centre, Navan.

Playground

What's your views on Johnstown having a playground?
