New Oak Tree
We have planted a new oak tree on the hill, which is the memorial tree for residents of the estate. We’ll be watering it regularly over the next few weeks to help it bed in, and hope it will thrive and be be around for many years to come.

Santa Visit – Christmas Eve 2012
We welcomed Santa on his special annual visit to Balally. This year he walked around the whole estate with the committee carol singers. Children and adults eagerly waited outside their homes to greet him and join in the singing. Many whispered in his ear… everyone had been nice (not naughty, of course), some made last minute requests for gifts they wished for.
All his younger fans got treats of selection boxes and sweets. Carols were sung, Christmas wishes were exchanged with neighbours.
A unique occasion that Balally is renowned for. We hope the singers among you will come out in force in December 2013… don’t be shy, let us know now.
