Club Notes - 31st March

 
Jack The Joker
The ever-popular Jack The Joker draw took place on Monday night last. Mikey Briggs was drawn and picked number 43. When turned this was not the Joker, but he did win €50. Olivia Shields and Tony Elstead won €25 each. The jackpot next week will be €3,000.
 
Antisocial Behaviour
On Saturday night last unfortunately, we were the victims of some unwanted activity at our grounds. As a club we pride ourselves on being wholly inclusive and welcoming to all and any. Our facilities are for everybody in our community to enjoy so it is therefore soul destroying to see elements within this community acting in such a self-absorbed and abhorrent manner. What occurred can only be classed as vandalism plain and simple and anyone who had a hand to play in this should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. We have called the Burgery home for over 40 years and in that time the gate has never been locked. We truly hope we are not forced to do so anytime in the future.
 
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we’d like to expend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Biddy Whelan and Ellen Jordan who both unfortunately passed away recently.

Memory Lane

Over the past few week’s bingo mania has been sweeping the parish with our now regular online Saturday night games proving extremely popular with both young and old alike. Indeed, what is most notable is the number of newcomers who are taking part, players who a few weeks ago didn’t know their top of the house from the key to the door are now experts.

This is our 1st foray into the online sphere but going back over 50 years the club have had a very strong bingo tradition. Pictured are details of the first game we promoted back in June 1970, with Mrs. Flynn Murphy’s Place picking up the full house prize of £15.

 

Mini Bingo 1970


Subsequent to this of course we progressed onto our customary Sunday night slot in various halls around town throughout the 80’s to the present day where, up until Covid intervened, the CBS were our hosts. Whilst the online games have been a great success and are proving a great source of enjoyment for so many people, we of course look forward to the day when we can welcome everyone back in person, In the meantime, it’s eyes down every Saturday at 8pm.

 

St Patrick’s Bingo Bonanza

On Saturday night next, Abbeyside Ballinacourty GAA All-Star Online Bingo will host a St. Patricks Bingo Bonanza.
