The Valkenburg has been confirmed for the final night of Mission: Slimpossible! on Friday, March 14th.  Mission: Slimpossible! is the weight loss competition between Ballinrobe RFC, Ballinrobe Town AFC and Ballinrobe GAA club. A total of 60 people – 20 from each club – have been taking part in the novel campaign since early January. The event will start at 9pm. Music by Quality Street followed by disco. With a huge crowd anticipated, a closed circuit tv system will beam pictures to the upstairs area of the Valkenburg. All proceeds from that night will go to the Friends of Grace Charity. On the night, the following will be announced: Winning club (this will remain a secret until the final night). King of Mission: Slimpossible! Queen of Mission: Slimpossible! (both of these prizes are awarded on the basis of who lost the most body fat percentage). ‘After’ and winning pictures will be taken by photographer Elizabeth Toher, and the key ones will be available for circulation to the media. On the night, each team is assembling in a local public house before going to the Valk. The GAA team will meet in O’Malley’s Bar at 8pm. Participants, friends, club members and families are invited to join the group in O’Malley’s. To learn more about how Mission: Slimpossible! operates, please visit HERE.
