Local Notes: Ladies football club fundraiser, 'The Weir' and congratulations
Some of the packed crowd who witnessed the Bridgeview Drama Tallow production of 'The Weir'
Last Friday night saw a huge crowd in the community centre theatre hall, for what was an absolutely fabulous performance of, 'The Weir', by the Bridgeview Drama Tallow group.
It was standing room only as this award-winning amateur drama group took to the stage.
One could hear a pin drop throughout the entire performance as this hugely talented group of actors captivated the audience in what was a night that will be remembered for a long time in Ballymacarbry.
From the amazing set, sound, lighting and acting, Brideview Drama Tallow is an amateur drama group in name only. It was easy to understand how this group receives so many accolades.
Huge thanks to director Jack Aherne and his entire crew, for bringing this special night to Ballymacarbry Community Centre and we wish the group the very best of luck as they bring the play back to Tallow with a number of performances in the coming days - Friday, February 7 to Sunday, February 9.
If you missed this play in Ballymacarbry, a visit to Tallow is a must.
Very special thanks must also go to locals Pat and Carmel Melody, and Jim Ryan, who’s efforts were instrumental in bringing this play to Ballymacarbry. The organising committee would also like to pay special thanks to those who rowed in on the night to help everything run smoothly, the many people who helped with teas/coffees, who brought along cakes, buns and biscuits, Darren Guiry and Stephen Shields for covering our roadside stewarding.
Gratitude was also extended to Thomas Crotty and Tom Halpin for their role as doormen on the night and the many others that contributed to making this night a huge success.
Well done to all the Ballymacarbry boys who were involved in the victorious Clonmel High school team on winning a first ever Munster Senior Hurling title for the school. The team defeated Scarrif in the Munster B Senior hurling final and our local hurling stars were instrumental in this success.
Ballymac LGFC request that you support their upcoming bottle and can collection fundraising drive. Bottles and cans must contain the ‘Re-Turn’ symbol, be completely clean and uncrushed.
