The Parish Park Committee: We are desperately seeking your help to maintain and keep our Bingo going. Bingo is our main source of income. We are presently depending on the same volunteers week in and week out. All we ask is a small amount of your time to spread the load and allow the present volunteers time to recharge their batteries. I would seriously ask every home, Club or group that uses or benefits from the community centre to consider what it would be like if this wonderful facility had to be scaled back due to a lack of community involvement. We are primarily looking for bingo callers, floor support and general help in the daily running of the centre. The committee is open and willing to listen to your questions and offers of help. You can contact me Kevin on 087 1375222 or James at 086 3125876 Stephen at 087 6449500

Why not take a chance and buy an annual Lotto envelope as a new year's present for someone. Show them how much you care, annual lotto envelopes are only €50 and entered into the main draw with a chance to also win in our lucky dip draw for €25 fortnightly.
