During this Covid-19 lockdown it has been tough going at times. Little will have brought as many people together and lifted spirits more than the few ladies who created 'Eyes Down on Lockdown'. Cathy McCullough, Charlene Rooney, Corina McAteer, Karen Phillips, and Sinead Rooney, and their little team of helpers in the background, didn't do this FOR the club but all at Ballymartin are very very proud that they are part of this club.
What started as a local thing in the village soon spread as far as Australia and New Zealand! The chance to tune in, have a bit of craic playing bingo, win some big prizes and maybe most importantly, be part of a group of people who contributed to giving just over £18,000 to worthy charities like The RLNI, Air Ambulance, Newry Hospice, and MYMY to name just a few.
GLASDRUMMAN: The club held a May Walking Challenge for the Southern Area Hospice, raising £1000.
