Kilcronaghan Activity and Conference Centre

This venture is the brainchild of the Kilcronaghan Community Association (KCA). A lot of hard work by the members of this group along with local and international funding has transformed this old Church of Ireland rectory ("The Old Rectory") into a multi purpose residential building. The centre opened it's doors during the summer of 2001 to various groups and had it's official opening on the 3rd October 2001.

Farm Minister Brid Rodgers officially opened the activity and conference centre in Tobermore. Mrs Rodgers praised those behind the project and wished it every success in the future. Kilcronaghan Community Association has been working on the project for five years. The former Rectory has been completely refurbished and extended to accommodate around 40 guests. In addition to en suite facilities there is a recreation room and conference hall. Funding for the project, as part of the Rural Development Programme, has come from various agencies and Magherafelt District Council. Vice-Chairman of the council, Bertie Montgomery, has been a strong supporter of the project. "I am delighted that the centre has finally opened," he told the Mail, "Everyone involved in its planning over the past five years is to be congratulated. The development is aimed at attracting tourists, especially walkers, to the Sperrins area. Hopefully we will get many more visitors to the area in the years ahead."
