In keeping with tradition, as draws to a close, we are pleased to announce that your support of our📍Tandragee and📍Broughshane displays have collectively raised £4866.98 for Marie Curie - Northern Ireland. Your support will deliver 211 hours of front line nursing care to those most in need.
This brings our total since 2014 to £48,550.53 which is 2347.5 hours of front line care!! On behalf of Sarah, Mark and myself (Tim) can we thank every single supporter, visitor and donor.
Special thanks to our sponsors who make the display feasible. David Jameson Roofing Services Ltd, Bryan Hynds Garden Machinery Ltd , Rankin Electrical, Tesco Lurgan, White's Oats, Next Move Property Sales, Pneuma School of Motoring, Green Light Transfers, Infinity Adventure Park .
Additional thanks must go to those individuals who played a key part in our successful debut in Broughshane - Jonny Campbell, Rebekah Hill, Colin Gilliand, Ian McAlees, Colin West, Greg Crawford ( Components), Reuben Gillespie, Darren Brewster, Ian McKeown and Brian Reilly. We also must thank our family for their support (in particular Roy Nicholl, Alan Nicholl and Tommy Laird with various aspects of transport, install and ladders). We also want to thank our fantastic neighbours who accomodated the display - particularly our immediate neighbours. Also we owe massive thanks to Broughshane Gospel Hall and James McNeill Hardware for use of their car parking space. And finally to those individuals who advertised our event - Gaston MLA, Paul Frew MLA, Cllr Tyler Hoey, Love Ballymena, Ballymena & Antrim Times, Braid Observer and We Are Broughshane. Thank you also to Chris Wilkinson for his ongoing help with our website and completing redesigning the website in 2025 to accommodate both venues. And on a personal note - my wife Sarah and my dad Mark who put up with all my mad ideas.
