Local Notes: Newsletter, Christmas concert, road run and fitness classes

Everyone has been busy preparing for the Ballymacarbry National School Christmas Concert
It is a privilege to see that Panda Playground made the front page of this year’s Nire & Ballymacarbry Newsletter.
Huge congratulations to author Claire Bridle and the many contributors for producing what is another fantastic publication. This is a wonderful resource to keep the community (at home and abroad) up to speed on all that is going on and will provide a priceless historical record of the area in years to come. Get your copy ASAP as these are sure to sell out quick.
Everyone has been busy preparing for the Ballymacarbry National School Christmas Concert. A lot of work has gone into preparing the hall for the amazingly talented boys and girls from Ballymacarbry Central School. Their Christmas Concert will take place next week. Best of luck to all involved for what promises to be a wonderful nights entertainment for the community.
Over the festive period make sure you pencil in the 'Do It For Declan' tractor run which will take place on December 29, in Newcastle. Registration will take place in the community centre from 11am. Please support this great cause.
There are still a number of Astroturf slots available each week, so if anyone wishes to make a booking please contact us on the Community Centre Mobile (086 0328467) to make arrangements.
