Emergency Meeting

An Emergency meeting for Ballycastle Community Hall will take place on Monday 11th July at 9.00p.m. The present directors have recently resigned. New directors would be appreciated. Ballycastle Community Hall is a wonderful establishment and we do not want to see this prominent local building closing down.
