We wish to thank everyone who supported us on Thursday night last at Molly's Pub, Tralee. The support was exceptional and much appreciated by the club. There is one night left and we hope all our supporters come out and enjoy the night on Thursday 1st November THE HALFWAY BAR.
The usual format applies. Tables of four for £12.00 per table and the winners will be chosen from the best aggregate scores from two nights. The quiz will commence each night at 9.30pm.
All proceeds raised will be used to cover insurance, maintenance and further development plans we have for our handball courts.

Christmas Present Dilemma?
The Club are hoping to order Club shorts, Tee shirts and Track suits for players for Christmas. It is hoped to be able to cover some of the cost and those wishing to get any of the gear will have to pay some of the cost. The bigger the order the less cost. Anyone who would be interested in purchasing any of the above is asked to contact any member of the committee with his or her request. We would like to know the numbers as soon as possible so please let us know.

Kerry Handball Marathon Day.
The Handball Board are running a handball marathon to raise funds. The aim is to have handball played from 10.00am to 10.00pm on 2nd November. Players in various parts of the County will be taking part in the non-stop County event. It is hoped that members of the public will drop in to their various handball courts and see the game being played.
The Handball board has chosen The Alzheimer Society Of Ireland, Tralee branch as its chosen charity for this event. Proceeds from the money raised will go to the Tralee Alzheimer society to help cover the cost of a bus recently purchased. The bus is used by the Alzheimer society to bring patients to the day care centre each day. Everyone involved hopes that this will become an annual event.
Ballymacelligott Handball Club will be playing in the marathon from m 10.00am to 2.00pm and again from 5.00pm to 10.00pm. Other clubs will cover the interval in between.
