Graigue Ballycallan GAA Club and St. Brigid’s Camogie Club would like to say a massive thanks you to everyone who helped out in any way on Sunday at our Family Fun Day. While the weather wasn’t too kind to us, it did not deter the goodwill and determination of all present to make the event as big a success as possible.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out on the day in any way, those that were in the kitchen doing trojan work, those on different stalls or on the inflatables etc. 
Thank you to all our sponsors and to everyone who made donations of prizes and cakes, buns and sandwiches.
A huge thanks to everyone who put in so much work to prepare the timber. 90 loads were auctioned in all so all the hard work paid off!
And thank you very much to all who turned up on the day even though the weather wasn’t the best! 

We will have lots of photographs up on the website and Facebook page in the coming days.
