Let Us Entertain You – a word of thanks.

Everyone in both the youth and senior sections of the club would like to express their sincere thanks to those who either supported or were centrally involved in the organisation of the Let Us Entertain You night which passed off so successfully last Saturday night.

The attention to detail and organisation was exceptional and the feedback on the event has been very positive indeed.

Special thanks go to Roz Steenson who organised the barbecue and food part of the night and to the Ballynahinch Lions Club who provided the marquees and the expertise to erect them.

Special thanks also goes to Ross Hayes and Scott Brashaw for all the repair work that they have undertaken within the club house in recent weeks in preparation for both this event and the youth tournament at the end of August.

The proceeds were in aid of the levelling, repair and reseeding of the training area and everyone at the club is very grateful for the support we have been given to this project.

The costs of running any sporting club is becoming an increasing burden on its members and Ballynahinch United like many other is feeling the pinch. Despite the income from members, supporters and players it can be difficult to cover the outlay required for a typical home match which with referees fees and the costs associated with kit wash etc. can amount to £100.The club would welcome MatchSponsorship or sponsorship to assist with the defraying of costs. Anyone interested in providing assistant should contact any club member or telephone the Secretary 07436112954 for further information.
