Get a baby sitter. Sit in the front part until you getta bit of dutch courage You know who you are….  ... A Foroige Youth Club will open in Ballyboughal on Friday 10th September. The club will meet every Friday evening from 8-9.30pm in the school hall. The club is for all secondary school students from the area. The club will provide a much needed social outlet for young people from the area to come together and meet their friends in a safe space. The club will be run by volunteers from the local area, all of whom have been trained. The club will also be supported by Foroige, National Youth Development Organisation. If anyone has an hour to spare and would be interested in volunteering in the club you can contact bryan[dot]gavin[at]foroige[dot]ie Congrats all. Very proud. More to follow later. For the moment…… This we know for sure. Why is this on ballyboughal’s website….? I asked Paddy for his thoughts on the upcoming game between Naomh Mearnóg and Ballyboughal taking place this wednesday, in Portmarnock. The 10 green questions were also written by Yvonne Delaney More details on the 7up free facebook page and 7upFree.ie Yesterday I was down at the pitch and putt club. Just as we were closing up, Aidan Stell takes a brand spanking new set of [what would one call them] Tee Markers out of the back of his car. All numbered 1 – 9 with the directional arrows on them to the pin and hands them to Ronnie.  ... Says Aidan
If you are down by the course pop your head in and take a look at them. Really nice touch to the course. Don’t forget pitch and putt club membership is only €30 for the year with no green fees. You’ll find more information over at ballyboughalpitchandputt.com
A similar set up to the previous GYO class, the theory is that in one session you will go home with enough skills to be able to look after yourself from a grow your own – without the use of a tractor – point of view Interested or want to book yourself in ? : very simple….
Note: if numbers are 8 or more it’ll run – if not no bother. If you do put your name down keep an eye on this blog post. But I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t. Weather won’t pose a problem. Numbers will include only the first 8/12 names down on the list. There’s an idea: interested in having your very own personalised class done at your place of work or home for your group of friends or colleagues…. ? contact details above. Yes you heard it 110% correctly – Karaoke and Cocktails. I don’t know about you but…. I have never had a cocktail in O’Connors pub before. I may have had someone drop a slice of lemon in my pint as a joke….. According to Dave Leavy – this is a night not to be missed. I have a funny feeling you’ll want to bring your camera for this one  ... Saturday 7th August @ O’Connors Pub ... From what I can gather, almost 40 people took to the road for The Ballyboughal Pitch and Putt Club Annual Day Out. Meeting at 3pm we took to the Bog O the Ring and The Ring Commons 18 hole Pitch and Putt course. Play commenced at around 3.30pm and after the main competition, a cup of tea and a sandwich later, we returned for the trio scramble. If you are interested money-wise the entire day cost €12. You couldn’t have bought it if you tried
Destination after was O’Connors pub. Lovely sandwiches and food was waiting for us just after the prizes and trophies. Of course an el presidenté day out wouldn’t have been complete without an oul session. I think I can safely say everyone had an amazing day out and a great evening. To those who organised it all and to the many amazing people I met. Thank you so very much. View More Images of The Day Out

I spoke with Bar Man-ager extraordinaire Dave Leavy about the why, who and what was on the horizon for the local tavern. Credit where it is due, effort is being made – a lot of it. Watch this space. Bulaidh bós mór to the lads. Next gigs are this Fridays trad session and this Saturday 31st July with Frank Killeen  ... As far as I am aware Frank will be playing in the right had side of the pub – I prefer that option. The left hand side never really did it for me, personally. Kick off is about 10pm.By all accounts if you are into the softer side of the 60′s, 70′s and onwards Frank has a great reputation for a great nights entertainment. Really great to see the Saturday nights kicking off again  ... Saturday 10pm @ O’Connors Pub | |||||
