Infotainment Event
On Tuesday 20th March 2012 Moira NPT in association with Moira CPLC held an Infotainment Event in St Aidans hall, Glenavy. Over 80 local residents attended the event which included singing from Lynn McAllister and songs from the West End shows. Two short sketches on home and personal safety were delivered by Comedy artist Stephen and Brian. The humorous sketches highlighted issues regarding elderly and vulnerable people's security which proved to successfully show how easy people can be conned by Bogus Callers. Constable Willie Johnston Moira NPT spoke after each sketch on the steps people should take to protect themselves against becoming a victim of this type of crime.
