BALLINDERRY INITIATIVE
Mary Fogarty and Maeve O’Hair attended the recent meeting in Ballinderry and gave a very informative talk. The next step will be to compile a Survey, which will be distributed in the area, to find out if people would like to see a meeting place established in Ballinderry as a venue for people to meet and exchange ideas, to socialise and meet new people and with a view to opening a co-op shop for crafts and home produced products. The survey will give you an opportunity to voice your ideas and needs.
