The committee of the Community Outreach Group is deeply grateful and would like to record its appreciation of the truly open-hearted generosity of all those who contributed.

The Community Outreach Group’s first meeting of the New Year takes place at 8pm on Wednesday, January 9, in the Jethro Centre.

The well-known local historian, Dr Frank McCorry, will give a presentation on the role of the Brownlow family in the development of Lurgan.
