East Broadway Theatre Company is a local theatre group based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Founded in 2016, they began their journey in a living room with a vision for performance. In their inaugural year, they staged a delightful “Night at The Musicals” and also performed a play they had written at Sunflowerfest. Their motto is simple yet powerful: “teach, inspire, perform.”

Lisburn & Castlereagh Primary Schools’ Swimming Gala
Lagan Valley LeisurePlex was delighted to welcome 22 schools from across the council area to compete in the annual Lisburn & Castlereagh Primary Schools Swimming Gala recently.
The long-established event was held over two sessions and saw over 300 children compete in P4 – P5 and P6 – P7 categories, continuing to make it one of the largest galas held in Northern Ireland. Swimming disciplines included backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle as well as the highly competitive relay races.
During the event, the P4 – P5 Fiona Bate Memorial Trophy for Outstanding Pupil Award was presented to Jack McCluskey from Meadowbridge Primary School while the P6 – P7 Award was presented to Molly Dowling from Brownlee Primary School.
The P4 – P5 freestyle relay was won by St Aloysius Primary School with Friends’ Prep achieving a well-deserved 2nd place and St Jospeh’s Primary School achieving 3rd place. In the afternoon session, Friends’ Prep picked up 1st place in the P6 freestyle relay with St Aloysuis Primary School securing 2nd place and St Joseph’s Primary School claiming 3rd place.
Downshire Primary School achieved 1st place in the P6-P7 medley relay, with Pond Park Primary School a close second followed by St Joseph’s Primary in 3rd place.
McKinney Primary School secured a successful first place in the overall schools event, taking home the prestigious champion’s title. Second prize was closely contended by Carr Primary School with St Aloysius Primary School achieving 3rd place.
Presenting the morning session medals, Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh, Councillor Andrew Gowan said, “It is encouraging to see so many children taking part in this year’s swimming gala. The event is a great opportunity to experience the fun of competitive swimming, while still enjoying being part of a school team. It is fantastic to see the friendships and positive team spirit amongst all the children and I hope the event will encourage many more to take up the sport recreationally or competitively.”

The Mayor added, “I would like to thank the volunteers from SERC Lisburn for their amazing job helping with the timekeeping. Also thank you to all the teachers and children for supporting the gala and helping to maintain the wonderful tradition of Primary School swimming in Lisburn & Castlereagh.”
Children taking part in the afternoon session were presented their medals by Councillor Thomas Beckett, Chair of the Communities & Wellbeing Committee. Councillor Beckett commented, “The swimming gala provides a fantastic opportunity for children to develop their teamwork skills and stay active as part of their school week.
Swimming is a life skill, so it is important to encourage children to learn to swim, improve their technique and build their confidence in the water. While the swimming gala encourages children to strive for a medal, the overall message is about participation and cheering on every pupil until they cross the finishing line.
I would like to thank the staff at Lagan Valley LeisurePlex for organising such a successful event and look forward to building on the success again next year.”

As has always been the case we strive to ensure that customers and families always continue to receive a first class service from us. Both wax-removal and hearing-aid-fitting dramatically improve a person’s quality of life. Doing that while providing a personal and consistent service continues to be our priority and I hope that this will continue to set us apart for many years to come.
