Further to last time, I went to Ballingarry. It is a small place and the people were friendly although unaware of the link to Hibernian.

Ballingarry memorial

A plaque that could be gifted to the local church in tribute to Canon Hannon similar to the one that was commissioned for display in St Patrick’s Church to commemorate the founding of Hibernian FC might be a worthy project. St Patricks Branch have been a very proactive group with some decent projects to their name, and I wonder if this, or any other ideas would be something that might interest them for future endeavours? Something I’d definitely be keen to support.

Maybe you should make contact with these guys as the PR at Hibs has certainly improved these days maybe something could be done to support Ballingary afc in someway.

This thread brought back memories of my late wife when I first went by bus to visit her home in a wee village in Fife. I asked for a single ticket carefully and clearly pronouncing every syllable , ‘Single to B-A-LL-I-N-G-R-Y, please.’ The clippie (not Kelty) gave me a blank stare then, Eh? ........ D’you mean, Blingery?

[QUOTE=calumb;5496197]The lads from the local football club are definitely aware of the link as about 15 years ago I worked with the club president and he showed me information they had gathered on Father Hannon and his role in early Hibs. I think they did make contact with Hibs but I don't think they got much of a response.

A way forward may be to make a query to the Hibernian Historical Trust (contact details are on their web site) they played the main role in the restoration of Cannon Hannons grave stone at the Grange Cemerty (again details of this project are available on their website)
They may be a good point of initial contact and may be able to liaise with club with a view to taking the matter forward?
I know from personal experience that the Trust really does try their very best when matter pertaining to the clubs heritage arise.Last edited by Bobby Moore; 05-08-2018 at 10:49 AM. Reason: Spelling

I will mail the Historical Trust and see what it thinks. A wee plaque or something classy would be nice.

Maybe even a wee friendly with the team next season as a warm up to our next Euro jaunt.
