Dromboughil Charity Coffee morning and Easter Bonnet Contest

Saturday 31st March 2012 we held our coffee morning to raise funds for Ovarian Cancer (The Eve Appeal) and it was a brilliant success with amazing support from the local community and those further afield and over £800 was raised for the charity.  Thank you all who supported us in this venture.

Our guest and judge for the Easter Bonnet Competition was Joe Mahon, of Lesser Spotted Ulster fame.  The hats were magnificent as shown by the following photos!

It will run from 10.00am  - 1.00pm and the special guest will be Joe Mahon of "Lesser spotted Ulster" fame.  As the subject suggests we would like you to come along with your Easter Bonnet on and Joe will be judging them and lovely prizes will be awarded.

Admission will be £5.00, children free but they must be accompanied by an adult.

PLEASE DO COME ALONG AND HELP MAKE THIS EVENT A GREAT SUCCESS AND HELP RAISE MONEY FOR THIS MOST IMPORTANT WORK.
THANK YOU.

DROMBOUGHIL CRAFT CLASS - IMPORTANT UPDATE

As of Tuesday 31st January 2012 the Craft Class has changed day and time. The venue continues to be The Hub but it is now being held on MONDAY EVENINGS 7.00PM - 9.30PM.

This is being tried as the previous arrangements didn't suit everyone who would like to have been present and to possibly attract extra new members to the class. The first Monday night was a great success with new members coming along.
