Rainey Community Group work with Magherafelt Foodbank
On Tuesday evening the Community Group worked in conjunction with Magherafelt Foodbank and Agewell to produce 60 food hampers for members of our local community. 16 members of our group packed the food into bags with the Foodbank & Agewell logos as well as our School Crest.
Magherafelt’s First Drive In Movie
Meadow Bank Sports Arena was the venue for Magherafelt’s first Drive in Movie experience on Saturday 21 November. Over 160 adults and children packed into 50 plus cars that turned up to watch Pirates of the Caribbean on the big air screen which was over 6 metres high. The crisp clear weather was ideal for the event, which seemed to stir the imagination of all who attended. Most of the audience had never attended a drive in movie, so once the practical applications of tuning in car radios to hear the film were sorted out everyone settled down for a great night’s entertainment!
Food was provided by Sizzlers external catering, deliveries to the cars were undertaken by some of the Rainey rugby players. Joint Chair of the Rainey Rugby Fund Raising Committee Alistair Mc Gowan commented “The feedback from all those who came along to support the event has been very positive. I would like to thank not just those who attended but Paul Clarke and the Sizzlers catering staff, the food was outstanding! Also Mid Ulster Council for allowing us to stage this event at Meadowbank. Hopefully we will have another Drive in Movie night in the future”
Rainey Rugby would also like to thank Alistair McGowan, Tracey Lupari, Helen Hall and all other member of the fund-raising committee for their hard work and time.

Mr Tughan – Visiting a former Headmaster
On Wednesday 18th November four members of the Community Group paid a visit to Mr Tughan, a former Headmaster of the Rainey. They thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with him as he reminisced about his life and his time at the Rainey. At the Rainey we value the links we have with past staff and pupils and this was a fantastic experience for these current pupils. Many thanks to Mr & Mrs Tughan for opening their home to us and showing such warm hospitality!
