INFC CHARITY SHOW at Lisburn

Raffle Tickets: Would all clubs that have received raffle tickets for the Charity Show please return all sold books to Mrs Helen Marshall. 38, Ryan Park, Castlereagh, Belfast. BT5 7TY asap please. Clubs that have not yet sold their tickets if they could do so it would be much appreciated as it would lighten the workload for Helen on the day of the Charity Show. Everything is on course for the show and the Committee are now looking forward to you support on 11th December in the Lagan Valley Leisureplex, Lisburn. To try and stop the rumours that are circulating around the country, " PIGEONS WILL BE PRESENT ON THE TRADESTANDS" and the usual stallholders selling them, will be there.
