Astro and Ballwall Development
Our Astro and Ballwall development is nearing the completion of phase 1 of the project which will see the wall completed and fencing erected. Over the coming weeks the committee will turn their efforts to planning for phase 2 of the project . Thanks to all who have contributed to our donation scheme, these contributions and commitment have allowed the project to get to this point. As we plan for the final phase of the project over the coming months, we ask you and your family to consider contributing to our donation scheme. While the committee understands this is significant financial commitment, this scheme has been designed to facilitate flexible payments and has allowed the project to proceed and will be needed to get the facility completed and available to boys, girls, adult club members and all in our parish and community.
