A FUN event was held in Ballyroe last night in aid of the three Church of Ireland churches which were damaged in the storms earlier this year.

‘Who Wants To Be A Thousandaire’ drew a good turnout to the hotel where an amazing  €25,000 was raised by the event through advertising and sponsorship.

The three St John churches in Ballyseedy, Ballymacelligott and in Ashe Street were damaged earlier in the year and the funds will contribute greatly to their repair an upkeep.

Everyone attending on the night was in with a chance of winning €1,000 and while nobody scooped the big cash prize, everybody had a great time.

The organising committee was delighted with the amount raised and thanked sponsors, advertisers and everyone else  who made the night such a success.
