Our Balbriggan/North County Dublin branch held a coffee morning on 23rd of September in the Senior Citizen Hall in Balbriggan. Our raffle last year was a huge success at the event, and this year was no different! We gave away some fantastic spot prizes. Rosie Russell was our first prize raffle winner, Geraldine Keenan was our second prize winner, Ann Walsh was our third prize winner, Catherine Martin was our 4th prize winner and our fifth and final winner was Damien Doyle, a great morning was had by all and we can’t wait for our next coffee morning at Skinny Batch Bakery on Tuesday the 4th November. We hope to see you there.

We want to say a big thank you to Anthony Reilly of the Harvest Inn, Balbriggan who hosted a Quiz Night Fundraiser in support of the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind. The first prize winner won a €150 voucher, and a number of spot prizes were given out on the night. Check out our social media pages for more information on this event and make sure to follow us to be up to date with all upcoming events. We also had a great day at the Pumpkin Patch over the bank holiday weekend on the 25th and 26th October in Bremore Educate Together. Thanks to all who came along and said hello.
