We're excited to have been invited back to the Dwarf Sports Association of Ireland's Sports Day! Doubly excited as it's our first event since before the pandemic 😁

Attendees will have the chance to try out target shooting using our laser equipment. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Very excited to now have equipment for Vision Impaired athletes! Thank you so much to @MeathLocalSport for the grant that facilitated this purchase. We can't wait for it to be put to good use.
