DANCE CHALLENGE

Having watched Cashel take on an inspiring Jerusalem dance challenge, Lagganstown & neighbours have decided to follow suit.

On Sunday 28th February, we are going to do our part to lift the hearts and spirits of our families, neighbours & friends.

Due to minimising numbers gathering at the one time, we will carry out our “filming” at different locations (Ball Alley, School, Schoolhouse, Pump, Creamery, Cemetery, Ballycarron Bridge) at different times. Cyril will personally be in touch with all this week to get numbers from you (men, women, boys, girls, cats & dogs all welcome) which will enable him to put a schedule together which you will then be advised of. As always, your support is very much appreciated & between now and Sunday February 28, get practising. While this will be a fun event, social distancing incl. wearing of face masks must be strictly adhered to. For more info, please contact Cyril on (087) 257 8995.
