GRANDPARENTS DAY KNOCK: The Ballybrown Pioneers would like to remind all the people travelling to Knock with us on September 11 for Grandparents Day that the bus leaves Ballybrown Church car park at 7.30am. Please be on time as there are over 50 people travelling and we want to get to Knock in good time to allow everyone plenty of time to relax and enjoy the occasion. The first stop will be at the Lady Gregory Hotel in Gort for breakfast. We will stop again at the Hotel coming home for Dinner. We wish all our pilgrims a safe and happy journey and we hope you all enjoy the day out with the compliments of the Ballybrown Pioneer Association.
