COMMUNITY CENTRE AGM
The annual general meeting of the Crossabeg-Ballymurn Community Centre Development committee takes place on Tuesday, April 17, at Kyle Forge, Crossabeg, commencing at 8 p.m sharp.
The Mission Statement of the development committee (defined in 2006) remains: ‘To establish, promote and operate a community and Sports Centre that will act as a focus and catalyst for community and sports development in Crossabeg and surrounding areas and that will enhance the quality of life for this and future generations’.
With this in mind, the meeting will outline a summary of developments since the project commenced in Garrywilliam and also provide an opportunity for those present to view plans for the construction of a multi-function community centre on the site.
Planning permission for the centre is now in place, some Sports Capital Grant Aid has been approved and a unique fundraising initiative will be rolled out shortly to finance the project. All people interested in the ongoing development of community facilities for Crossabeg and Ballymurn are invited to attend this annual general meeting.
