"Thanks to everybody who has so far helped to recycle clothes, shoes, and handbags and turn these into funds for St Mary's Primary School.

Can we now ask you for your help in the last push for the school as we try and reach our target before the end of May.

So, have you any old clothes, shoes, bags that you no longer need and would be willing to part with?

Please contact Marina to arrange pick up/drop off of the bags.

Once again thank you for all your help and support of the school. We really appreciate your efforts."

Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire? Event

Friday 1 February 2013

Who wants to be a millionaire?
The question was asked in Bruce’s Kitchen on Saturday evening, 26th January, and George (Rathlin), Denis (Ballycastle) and Collette (Inishowen) were gently encouraged to try their skills. All made a good job of answering questions, though nobody actually went home a penny richer. Prizes were given in crisps and chocolates (off to Weight Watchers now), and although Collette successfully climbed to the top of the questions list, Rathlin had some additional support from a junior team (Ryan and Pablo) and won the greatest quantity. Congratulations!
