GOAL MILE

GOAL MILE: Once again the Goal Mile will take place in Ballybrown on Christmas Day. Starting at the Community Resource Centre at 12 noon, all you have to do is to turn up on the day, walk, run or crawl the Mile and make a donation to GOAL. The GOAL Mile is a great opportunity to do something practical for the poorest of the poor this Christmas. Together we can help GOAL to achieve their vision of  a world where poverty and hunger no longer exist, where communities are prepared for seasonal shocks, where structural and cultural barriers to growth are removed and where every man, woman and child has equal rights and access to resources and opportunities. Help us to make this the best GOAL MILE ever in Ballybrown.

CHRISTMAS FAIR ART COMPETITION WINNERS

CHRISTMAS FAIR ART COMPETITION WINNERS: In conjunction with the Christmas Fair last Sunday, children were invited to design Christmas stockings to add to the decorations in the hall. With over 300 entries from children of all ages it was a tough job to pick winners from the enormous selection of artwork. Well done to all who participated and congratulations to the winners: Aishling Murphy, Hana Tsang, Hazel Walsh, Ruby Deegan, Alex Smith, Holly Rose Carey, Joey O’Brien, Annabell Perill, Isabelle Maher Smith, Oran Cantillon Mann, Aine McCormack and Grace Browne.
Once again, people turned out in droves, at the Christmas Fair in aid of the Community Resource Centre. We are very grateful to all who attended to support the event and also to the committee and volunteers who give so generously of their time to make the event such a success. Hopefully everyone will have a good rest over the Christmas period and we’ll be back with batteries recharged for another busy year at the CRC in 2017.
