SGN Natural Gas helped provide some summer fun at Aughakillymaude Community Festival in Derrylin.

Aughakillymaude Community Association recently hosted its annual festival on the shores of Lough Erne and it is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque settings in Co. Fermanagh.

Darren Young, Head of Business Development with SGN Natural Gas, welcomed the opportunity to support the popular two-day community event which attracted large numbers of locals and visitors to the area for a feast of family-friendly entertainment and activities.

He praised the organisers of the festival which included attractions such as a vintage vehicles display, live music, face painting, bouncy castle, ice cream and BBQ, as well as sailings on the nearby Inishcruiser.

Brian McManus, Chairperson of Aughakillymaude Community Association, thanked SGN Natural Gas for its positive community engagement in Derrylin, one of eight key towns in its newly extended network in the western area. 

He said: โ€œThis is always a great summer festival at the community centre with our monthly music session also filling the night air during another memorable event which we look forward to every year.โ€ 

โ€œWe wish to express our sincere gratitude to SGN Natural Gas for its ongoing commitment to supporting community festivals and events which everyone can enjoy.โ€
