Guests were treated to a play by BEAM Creative Network and afternoon tea followed by dancing and entertainment. This was a joint event organised by the four Community Cluster groups in the Ballymena area – Ballymena South, Bann Maine West, Ballymena East and North Ballymena and Mid & East Antrim Agewell Partnership. Chairman of Bann Maine West, Norman Worthington, welcomed all to the event. Mayor of Mid & East Antrim, Councillor Billy Ashe said: “I am delighted to be here today at this event. It’s great to see such a fantastic turnout and also brilliant to see the Community Clusters working together. I hope there will be many more similar events in the future.”

The afternoon got off to a great start with a play by BEAM Creative Network highlighting issues relating to driving and transport services available. This was followed by afternoon tea, entertainment/dancing with Eric Moore and the chance to browse information stands from various organisations such as the Alzheimers Society, PCSP, Mid & East Antrim Agewell Partnership, Good Morning Ballymena and Tesco.
