Borrisoleigh Active Social Club

Borrisoleigh Active Social Club headed off last Friday to Lisdoonvarna.  After having a lovely meal in The Ritz they were all set for an evening of dancing and fun.

 
The next trip is the annual few days away. This year there is a group of over 40 members heading to Trim. They head off on Sun Sept 28th and return on Oct 1st. There is a busy schedule being planned so hopefully there will be something to suit everybody.  
 
Our October meeting is being held on Wednesday  Oct 8th at 7pm in the Community Centre, Borrisoleigh (note it’s the 2nd Wed for Oct).

 “Th’ whole worl’s in a terrible state o’ chassis”

A quote from Captain O’Boyle in  O’Casey’s ‘Juno and The Paycock’ in 1924, a turbulent period in our own history when our fledgling nation
was rising from a violent and bloody beginning. Over one hundred years later the violence, murder and mayhem proliferates across the world, with famine, disease and human rights violations following close behind.

If you, like me, feel powerless watching the awful events unfold on the nightly news, here is a chance to do something good and right.
Here is a chance to help people that are suffering, to help a family to relocate, revive, and survive. Please read the following information and if you feel you can offer any help or assistance please contact Jamie Groome on 0858566070. There will be an information evening this October (date to be confirmed) in our Community centre, delivered by the Irish Red Cross and DORAS.
