This is a great local opportunity to begin 2016 and lose a few pounds and in so doing help a very worthy cause. Fr. Pat and his group are at present out in Calcutta working with the poor on the streets and all monies collected go in total to the Calcutta Fund. The weight out takes place on Good Friday. We are still looking for volunteers to get involved in this project so please come long on Friday night your support would be greatly appreciated. Phil Ryan will be on hand at the weighing scales to record everyone’s progress. It is also hoped that we will organise a few walks locally over the next eight weeks in aid of the fund. This ” Operation More or Less” project is open to all, the more the healthier. Thank you and looking forward to seeing you on Friday night and for the next 8 Friday nights. We will have a special prize of a ” Giant Easter Egg” for the biggest loser. Come on and have a bit of fun and in the process lose a few pounds or is it a few Euros.
