“A Third print was recently produced and is also selling fast, this beautiful publication focussing on several of the houses and families in the Balloo and Killinchy areas, and much more.

“The authors have followed up with a series of talks and exhibitions featuring aspects of the book and additional information which has subsequently come to light, and their talk will update us with what has happened since publication.

“The usual refreshments and time for a chat with the speakers will take place after their talk.”

Ken added: “New Members and visitors are welcome to join the meeting free, however, a donation to cover cost of refreshments etc would be gratefully accepted.”
