THE MEN'S INSTITUTE - CALLING
Here
in Berrynarbor we are very lucky to have a Club with excellent facilities,
including a snooker table and a licence to sell alcohol.
We,
the members, would like to make all men-folk, young or old, and particularly
newcomers to the village or surrounding area, aware of this facility, which can
be used both in the afternoons and evenings, or even in the mornings!
Like
so many club premises, the cost of upkeep has increased and the more members we
have, the merrier, as well as helping the finances! Annual membership is currently £15.00 and
for just 50p per person, you can have a game of snooker - can you get better value?
If
you are interested in using these facilities you would be made most
welcome. For further details, please
ring our Club Chairman, Tony Summers, on [012271] 883600.
