POP UP POLES!?
Looks like our friends at (KRSP) Kerry Recreation and Sports Partnership were well pleased with the turnouts at the ‘Pop-Up’ Activator Workshops in Killorglin and Killarney? And also looks like the ‘pop-up participants’ enjoyed themselves. Big thanks also to Kerry Library for facilitating the workshops. Great idea guys!

POLE & STROLL AT PORT!
We’re delighted to share this post and pics from the Pole & Stroll event at Derryounce, Portarlington this morning. We think that this might be the first ‘polewalking’ event included in an Irish walking festival. Big thanks to all involved in Laois Walks Festival 2025 for including it, and to our friends at Laois Sports Partnership for organising and leading. We look forward to see more opportunities for polewalkers in other festivals in the future.

TRY A TRAIL!!
We love this promotion of one of our growing number of FitSTICKS Trails installed recently at the SETU Arena in Waterford. Big thanks to the management and staff at the Arena and to our friends at Waterford Sports Partnership for their input into the development of the trail. The location is a super one - lots of parking, poles to borrow, a well marked trail, and a café for a post-workout ‘cuppa and cake’!!! Give it a go if you’re in the area!

KERRY LEADER WORKSHOP
An action overview of the Activator Leaders Workshop which took place at Killarney Racecourse last Saturday. Big thanks to our friends at Kerry Recreation and Sports Partnership for hosting us - hoping to hear of lots of polewalking programmes in the future. Delighted also that poles will be made available to the new Leaders from many of the libraries across the county to assist them in their various groups.

POLES4PARKINSONS PROGRAMME A BIG HIT!
Delighted with the feedback that’s coming from the pilot ‘Poles4Parkinsons’ Programmes in Cavan Town and Carrickmacross. These end-of-programme pics from the Cavan gang suggest a lot of action and ‘inter’action was had along the way. Big thanks to all involved in the initiative - we look forward to an evaluation catch-up shortly and to rolling this programme out in other parts of the country in the near future.

Healthy Cavan

ANOTHER DAY
ANOTHER TRAIL!
Absolutely delighted that another FitSTICKS Trail has opened - this time in County Cork. And really impressed with the fantastic launch jointly organised by our friends at Cork Sports Partnership, Mary K Active, and the Ballinarriga community - see the lovely pics below. The ‘Castle Trail’ includes a WarmUP/WarmDOWN Board and a series of Strength Stations; incorporates sections of woodland and the community pitch; and passes the door of the fantastic Community Centre where Activator Programmes take place on a regular basis. We look forward to paying a visit in the near future.

MONAGHAN MOVERS!
So pleased to see this post from our friends at Monaghan Sports Partnership. The pics are from Week 4 of a six-week pilot programme being rolled out in both Monaghan and Cavan - exploring the benefits of Activator Poles for persons living with Parkinson’s Disease. And things would appear to be going well! This initiative in Carrickmacross is a collaboration with the HSE Physical & Sensory Disability Team and the Monaghan Parkinson’s Branch. We love the testimonials!
