Laurencetown, Lenaderg and Tullylish Community Centre celebrated its 25th Anniversary on September 23rd 2023. To mark the occasion, 100 people from the area, representing the various groups, plus the numerous volunteers (past and present) were invited to a celebration on Friday evening, 22nd September. As part of the celebration,the LLTCA Art group provided a small exhibition of some local scenes and a selection of these scenes have been reproduced as blank greeting cards - (a pack of 10 cards for £7.50) and are available from the centre.  The TLC group provided some 'yarn bombing' for the front gates and, although it was hard work, it certainly provides a talking point as you pass the centre!
