BALLYDONOGHUE LISSELTON

LISTOWEL RACES

The annual Listowel Races Festival kicked off on Monday last. The town was looking superb as usual ahead of the big influx of racegoers. Great credit goes to the band of Tidy Towns volunteers who pull out all the stops to keep Listowel firmly on the map of one of the best places to enjoy racing and the after-race activities.

SENIOR CITIZENS

Ballydonoghue GAA Club are very kindly donating the proceeds of this week’s Lotto to fund the Christmas party for the Senior Citizens of the parish. Please support as generously as you can. It is much appreciated.

Any chance someone would have Confirmation photos from Lisselton School 1938-1942? If so, contact any member of the committee immediately.
