ST PATRICKS anniversary ball has been cancelled due to lack of ticket sales.

Low numbers of interest have caused the 20th anniversary ball that was to take place on Saturday, September 16 to be called off.

A spokeswoman for the event said: “Instead of the ball we will be celebrating within the school and parish and may do a smaller community event but will update you when we have more information.

“It seems there are a number of events on in Troon and surrounding areas during September and this may have affected this event.”
