2023 Family Fun Day, Vintage Rally & Road Runs-details on Home page
The photographer didn’t manage to get any pics of the corn harvest in 2023 so this snap of the corner of the field before it was cut will have to do!
The corn was harvested on 21st July 2022.

"Valerie's Catering Emporium" (well the Ladies Committee) will stock soup, stew, sandwiches, buns, tea and coffee, crisps and juice and "Bobby's Hot Food Bar" will have burgers, hot dogs and bacon butties. Make sure you come early for the hot food as the soup and stew sell out very quickly.
The Road-Run will set off at 3.30pm sharp, completing a short local circular route and returning to the Rally fields to finish the afternoon. This year's charity partners are Ballynahinch Counselling Services and Friends of MS Research QUB.
The 2019 Rally and Family Fun Day is supported by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council Community Festival Fund.

Corn cut and stooked ready for the rally-hope the rain stays away for a few days so the sheaves are in tip-top condition for threshing. Thanks to all the helpers-obviously the photographer missed the hard work!! (15.8.2018)
