45 DRIVE

45 DRIVE: Yes ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of the year again. Our summer has come and gone and the long nights are on the way. But don’t despair as the weekly 45 card drive in aid of the Ballybrown/Clarina Community Resource Centre gets underway on Thursday September 17 at 8.45pm. Joe Purcell and his team will be on hand to ensure that you have a great night out for just €5.00 and Maura Byrnes and Helen Kennedy will make sure that you don’t go home hungry. The card drive is now established as an integral part of the local entertainment calendar and a night out not to be missed. Please come along and be sure to bring a friend. The usual prize money will be on offer plus our fantastic raffle with great cash prizes. See you all on the 17th.

OPEN NIGHT

OPEN NIGHT : There was another busy night in the centre last Thursday. We were delighted with the turnout of people enrolling for classes with more tea, coffee and cake on offer. Some of the classes are now full but there are places remaining in a few. If you’d like to enrol for a class and were unable to attend last Thursday contact the centre at 061 353140 / 086 0795308. A brochure of all classes on offer is available in the centre, local shops and school. It is also available on the Ballybrown/Clarina Community facebook page. Sign up to our mailing list at www.clarinavillage.com to get regular updates on classes and events in the centre.

COFFEE MORNING

COFFEE MORNING : Our Back to School Coffee Morning was declared an outstanding success. Shortly after the school bell rang to announce the start of the school year the newly bereft parents started to drift towards the main hall of the Community Resource Centre. Before long there was a full house enjoying tea, coffee, cake and chat galore. The fabulous display of locally made art, craft and paintings attracted much admiration.  Thanks to everyone who attended and made a donation to our funds and of course special thanks as always to the organisers. Hopefully this will now be an annual event.
