It is that time of the year again when villages across Ireland are scrambling to make final preperations for the 1st of June, when Judging begins for the 2008 Tidy Towns competition.

Ballynacally picked up an extra 21 points last year and were only 22 points away from the overall winner. We have a beautiful village and we are well capable of bringing the title home, so lets all get stuck in painting, weeding, clearing litter and grroming hedges and grass to make 2008 our year for our village
