IT HAS hosted hundreds of faces from many generations and as it prepares to celebrate its 100^th birthday, the Bahgallah Memorial Hall has enjoyed a visit from senior representatives of its local clans.

The gathering is the first stage in planning for a Centenary event, to be held on November 11, this year and which will include the unveiling of a new honour board recognising locals who served in the second world war.
