Spring spruce-up in Ballycastle

AS part of the ‘We care about our town’ initiative, Ballycastle calls on you to lend a hand for a spring spruce-up.

Organisers say the town needs a little help to get ready for a few exciting months that lie ahead.

With the Olympic Torch coming through the town at the start of June, then the Irish Open Golf tournament coming to nearby Portrush and not forgetting of course the summer holidays, Ballycastle needs a little tidy up, a freshen up, a lick of paint here and there.

A spokesperson said: “This is where you come in. We need donations of cash, paint, tools, equipment but most of all we need some of your time, just a few hours or what ever you can give. Of course having the money to buy the paint, rollers, brushes etc is important but if we don’t have the people out putting the paint on the buildings then we cannot get the job done.

“So please pledge your cash but more importantly your time. Some items required: White, black and Magnolia masonary paint; Paint brushes, rollers, sand paper, wire brushes; A loan of dust sheets for a day or two; A loan of ladders for a day or two; Hire of a Cherry picker or similar type machine for a day; A loan of staple guns with staples and spray glue (about 6-7 cans).

“We need volunteers to help on the days that painting is taking place and then a big push for people to be out on the main ‘Tidy Our Town Day’ which we plan to hold on a Sunday yet to be decided upon in May. So please please offer your help,

“It is easy to stick your hand in your pocket but it takes a wee bit more to come out and help and we hope you will. After all it is your town too! What ever you have to offer please contact Michael on 07739041707 or Conor on 07706113869.”
