Local Notes: Bingo success, spring cleaning and learning something new
Ballymac bingo
Our now annual Ballymacarbry Darkness Into Light walk will take off from the community centre on Saturday, May 10 at 4.:5am.
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!
Last Friday, we saw a fantastic crowd in attendance for Ballymac Bingo!
This will be the final bingo of the season until after the summer period.
Sincere thanks to all who attended on Friday 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 last Saturday morning in our village and surrounding townlands.
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.
Continue to get your fitness kick in the centre through the fitness classes with Stephanie Byrne, Badminton and yoga classes with our local Ciorcal Cairde group, WWETB classes (cookery, fitness & Smartphone/digital technology classes) along with all manner of classes and sports within our indoor astro turf facility.
If you are interested in any of the above, contact us here at the centre on 086 032 8467, and we can put you in touch with the relevant group!
