A big thank you to all who supported our recent RNLI barbecue in Ballytrent. A huge turnout on the evening/night ensured that much needed funds were raised for our branch. With the attendance swelling throughout the evening and with a wide ranging selection of food and drink available for all, along with top class entertainment – a great evening/ night was enjoyed by all present.
Thanks to all who supported the event by way of buying tickets, to all who volunteered in the preparation in lead up to the barbecue and during the barbecue itself, to all our sponsors and all who sponsored food, drink and prizes for the raffle.
A special word of thanks to Jamie Ryan for the use of his grounds and premises of Ballytrent House. As always, the surroundings were in pristine condition and there was certainly no better location for our barbecue. A final total on funds raised is currently being tallied and will be published shortly.
