Eyes down and best of luck this coming Sunday as Gaelscoil Faithleann’s Parents Council are ready to play Bingo!

The Annual Family Bingo afternoon takes place from 3pm to 5pm in the Mangerton Room, Gleneagle Hotel.

The Bingo afternoon, which is open to all, will have fantastic prizes, donated by local businesses, for game winners and the opportunity to win raffle prizes. There will be spot prizes throughout the afternoon.

“We are building on our very successful Bingo afternoons in the last two years and are back in the Gleneagle Hotel, and again have the wonderful Ray O’Sullivan, Bingo caller extraordinaire, who will make the games so much fun,” Mary Carroll, Chairperson of the Parents Council, told the Killarney Advertiser.

“Doors will open at 2.30pm and we encourage people to come early as we had a ‘full house’ last year! Entrance is €10 for adults and €5 for children – with max rate for larger families.”

These events are about much more than fundraising, but about bringing the school community together and creating shared memories, Mary explained.

“They are about getting to know each other beyond the school gate, in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We look forward to a great afternoon and welcome everyone to attend. All monies raised will go to supporting activities for children in the school – organising Pilates classes, purchasing equipment, organising guest speakers and activities.”
