THE BEGINNINGS OF THE CYMS HALL PERHAPS?

An article in the Leinster Leader from 1943 covered the first meeting to examine the need for a new ballroom in Kildare Town. Was this the beginnings of the C.Y.M.S. project in the town which saw the building of a community hall by locals?

MODERN BALLROOM FOR KILDARE ?

As reported in these columns some weeks ago, there is afoot in the town of Kildare an ambitious project, sponsored by a group of prominent business men, to provide the town with a new and up-to-date ballroom of the most modern construction. The ambitious scheme (involving very considerable capital outlay) advanced a step when, at the Railway Hotel, Kildare, on Friday last a very largely attended and representative meeting discussed the project and unanimously decided to further the matter. A second meeting of all interested parties is to be held in the near future.
