Xmas Lights Collection This Weekend.

Remember last year and that magic night when one of our community’s special citizens switched on the Christmas Lights at the Church of the Holy Rosary…well 12 months later we are nearly ready to go again. The committee has the trees up in 5 locations in the village (after a lot of hard work on Saturday) and the lights are going on this week. To cover the costs a church gate collection will be held this Saturday/Sunday December 1/2 at all masses in Ballyleague. Please support and give what you can to help defray the costs. The trees and the lights give a nice atmosphere of Christmas spirit to the village so please help.

Ballyleague help the Mayo-Roscommon Hospice.

 

If you spot this beautiful quad in the heart of Ballyleague over the next few weeks please pull up and buy a ticket that could make you its new owner and could also help the Mayo-Roscommon Hospice. The quad is only powered by a small motor and battery and is suitable for a child of 5 to 10 years old. Tickets are 10 euro each but for that you could a chance to win the quad AND take part in a draw

on the night of the Tony Healy Memorial Cup card game in Clarkes Bar in early December. All funds raised go to the Hospice and the quad can be seen outside Daybreak and Top in Ballyleague any day. Please support this worthy cause….and make somebody very happy this Christmas.
