DRAMA IN BALLINDANGAN
The Ballindangan Players are back rehearsing for their production of ‘Ladies of Spirit’ which was halted in March 2020 due to the pandemic.

Beneficiary from the opening night (March 23rd) is Jer Spillane, a great friend of the group who is dealing with a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease. Tickets are now available to book on 025-24753 or 086-6079251, €10 for adults, €5 for children, so don’t delay, get booking!
