Negotiations on Regional Rallies


Another meeting of the sub-Committee that is organising the 'Doing Something More For God' Campaign took place this morning/afternoon in Magherafelt FPC.

Each member of the sub-Committee (Revs. Ormerod, Smith, McLaughlin and Brown) had been assigned the task of sourcing and booking appropriate venues for our 8 Regional Rallies that are planned for 25 September and 2 October.

September 25:

Belfast, Londonderry, Armagh, Enniskillen

October 2:

Ballymena, Newry, Lisburn, Dungannon

We have been trying to book 'neutral' venues for each of the rallies, with our top preference being School Assembly Halls. It's rather amazing how much planning is necessary to secure just one venue. (Some schools operate under a PPI Initiative, which means that the final decision re the granting of a request to use a school after its regular opening hours comes from Scotland! Some schools are already booked; others have shown little or no enthusiasm to co-operate).

However, we remain positive, and were buoyed today by the confirmation of two locations as definite venues for our rallies:

Ballymena North (Sports Complex), Cushendall Road, Ballymena;

Drumglass High School, Dungannon.

At least one of these has come in at an astonishingly inexpensive price!!

News re others is expected this week.
