Organised by the Parent-Teacher Association, the event was very well supported.

Denise Difallah, PTA chairperson, stated: “We were delighted that the weather was in our favour. We would like to thank everyone who came along and supported us either by donating in advance or purchasing from the stalls on the night.

“We were able to offer traditional stall such as toys and books, to jewellery and vintage crafts for sale, as well as old favourites such as the treasure maps and a prize auction. The most popular new edition this year was the teddy on a string stall so we will be repeating it next year.”

Principal George McCluskey added: “I would like to thank the local businesses who really got behind our ideas and gave so generously and our team of volunteers, including the members of Ballyduff Silver Band.

“The fair is always a highlight of the summer term and this year‘s event was great fun as well as raising vital funds for the school.”
