OPERATION MORE or LESS

OPERATION MORE or LESS: Two weeks down now and thirteen to go, time flies. We now have over forty people signed up for the weekly slim and it’s hotting up already with some serious weight losses accounted for already. It will not be easy to take the title of “Ballybrown’s Biggest Loser” on good Friday night.
Walks are being organised also on certain nights and you can check this out on Facebook at Ballybrown Walking for times,venues etc. Thanks to all who have already supported this venture, the monies raised go in total to Fr. Pat Hogan’s Calcutta Calling Fund.
We still have some places to be filled as we were looking to get at least 50 people on board. We weigh in every Friday night at the Resource Centre from 7.30 – 8.00pm and Phil Ryan will be on hand to see who tips the scales. Come along on Friday night and as usual bring a friend. This is a fun fundraiser and all are welcome to take part, so dont be shy you are among friends. Thanks
