New club for village

SIR, — I would like to congratulate Ballygowan District Community Association for starting a youth club for 11-17 year-old boys and girls in Ballygowan Village Hall. This is a welcome and positive new initiative to counteract the anti-social behaviour that the village has been experiencing over the past year because the young people have nowhere to go and hang out together. 

The Youth Club opens on April 28 but needs equipment to get them started and I would like to appeal for donations. 

If anyone would like to volunteer their services to help run the club then your contribution would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Wilma McVeigh, the Leader-in-Charge of Ballygowan Youth Club, on 07814 498 408 if you have anything that you could donate to the project and arrangements can be made to them off or be collected.

Yours etc.,

CLLR. DEBORAH GIRVAN.
