		The Balivanich Regeneration project aimed to transform a deserted military housing estate into a desirable residential area.
		Balivanich Park is only the second park to be provided in the Western Isles and was opened on by Alasdair Morrison MSP and Calum MacDonald MP.
		By working with the community, and gifting areas of land for the provision of these facilities, community groups have been formed, which have access to other funding sources and they are now working with us for the long-term benefit of their community.

		If my memory serves me well, his classes in Daliburgh were set up in the late 1950s and ran for a few years.
		But with Fr Calum's translation to another parish, things changed and I never again danced a 'Paddy Bah' (as I imagined it was spelt) other than when showing off during an Eightsome Reel at the Balivanich Gym.
		I say all this in an attempt to excuse my limited knowledge and appreciation of the art of dancing.
