Local Notes: Memorial run, playground opening and Ballymac Bingo

The Panda Playground will be officially opened on Saturday, September 14
The official opening of Panda Playground takes places this coming Saturday, September 14, from 12noon to 3pm. We encourage all in the locality to come along for an afternoon of fun and laughs with free face-painting, games, ice creams for all the kids, and a coffee van for the parents to enjoy refreshments.
Our next Bingo night will take place on Friday, September 13. It may be viewed as an unlucky date for some but we can guarantee to buck this trend as there will be lots of lucky people going home with great cash prizes on the night. Come along and break the superstition. You could be our first jackpot winner of €500. Looking forward to seeing a huge crowd as usual.
Touraneena Runners in association with West Waterford Athletic Club is hosting a memorial run in memory of the late Colm Ryan on Sunday, September 15, starting at 11am in Touraneena.

This 5K run/walk in his memory will continue this great work with all proceeds from the event donated to the society. The link to register online is available on eventmaster.ie – or via facebook on the Ballymacarbry Community Centre or Touraneenan Runners Club Facebook pages.
