MILLTOWN

FUNDRAISING DIRECT DEBIT RESUMPTION

It is wonderful to see things returning to pre Covid normality. The sight of our footballers on the training field over the weekend brought much joy to management, players and their families. Now more than ever, we need all our facilities up to spec as every footballer tries to make up for lost opportunities due to the pandemic restrictions. With this in mind, we will resume our direct debit in our ‘Friends of Milltown Castlemaine GAA Fundraiser’, with the first payment re-commencing on this Wednesday, July 1st 2020.

As a club we are eternally grateful for your financial support in the past and we look forward to it continuing as we conclude phase 2 and embark on phase 3 of our development. As we return to club activities, we applaud all those who stuck rigidly to the guidelines and we particularly commend our executive who have worked tirelessly over the past number of months to ensure the return to training and games is safe and smooth, adhering to the many necessary regulations set out by our government. We look forward to the cooperation of all those using our facilities to ensure the holistic well-being of all in our community and beyond.
