A LARGE crowd of people showed up at the Ashe Hotel on Friday night to support an Inspired event.

A Zumbathon, organised by the group and instructor Linda Flanagan, was a great success and a brilliant way for people to get active. Of course the members of Inspired are no strangers to the activity.

“They do Zumba every Monday and it’s one of the most popular classes during the week, they really love it,” said Marie O’Connor, a volunteer with the group. “Linda has been a great supporter of ours and she decided to organise the night,” she added.

Members of Inspired and friends took the floor for two hours between 7-9pm and had a great time, raising  much needed funds for the group which is based in Friary Lane.
