Local Notes: Ballymacarbry Bingo, spring clean success, classes in the centre and 'Darkness into Light'
The last Ballymac Bingo session before the summer break attracted a fantastic crowd
Our now annual Ballymacarbry Darkness Into Light walk will take off from the community centre on Saturday, May 10, at 4.15am. So mark the date in your diary and don’t miss what is always a hugely fulfilling and memorable community event. Further details will be promoted in these notes and on our social media channels over the coming weeks.
We had a fantastic crowd in attendance for Ballymac Bingo recently, for what was the final bingo of the season until after the summer period. Sincere thanks to all that attended and for all the support over the year. This bingo has been a critical fundraiser for Panda Playground and has helped us to make significant progress with our loan repayment for the development. There is just over €10,000 left to raise to completely clear all costs associated with the playground. This is a phenomenal achievement by the community given the project only began 18 short months ago.
A huge effort by a big team of generous volunteers saw a mountain of roadside rubbish collected recently for the annual Spring clean-up of the village the surrounding townslands. Almost 100km of roadside rubbish was collected which is an amazing feat. Hopefully road users will acknowledge this monumental effort and stop dumping their rubbish on the roadside.
