Garden Party & Plant Sale Fundraiser This Weekend (May 30th) 2pm to 6pm

Inspiration to resurrect this event in Ballyburn is rooted in memories from the 1980s/90s when fundraising committee member Patsi's mother hosted garden parties at the same location as a fundraiser for our local station here in Kilmore Quay. No doubt also inspired by the 20 years of service Patsi's Dad, Christy, gave to the RNLI.

We are looking forward to revisiting the garden in Ballyburn this weekend and hope you can pop in and join us for some refreshments, games and family fun.
