- By SINEAD KELLEHER

BINGO lovers can enjoy a fun evening this weekend and not worry about the Covid virus with a drive-in Bingo in Glenbeigh GAA grounds.

The event is being hosted by Glenbeigh Glencar GAA club to raise funds for the developmen­t of their juvenile pitch.

It comes following a marathon run in recent weeks to also raise funds for the new developmen­t.

This saw club members run various distances at the pitch including joining together to complete the marathon distance in a bid to raise funds for their club.

A Go Fund Me Page for the event online has raised more than €4,000 towards the developmen­t.

Following on from this the club are now hosting a different fundraisin­g event with their drive-in bingo.

The bingo event takes place this Friday, August 7 at 7pm and the guaranteed jackpot is €1,500. Gates open at 5pm.

The books can be purchased at the gate and the club have guaranteed a great day evening out for Bingo lovers from the safety of their car.

Chairman of the club, Timmy O’Sullivan said their current fundraisin­g drive is to support the future of the club and develop new facilities.

“We are raising funds for the developmen­t of a juvenile pitch,” he explained.

He is asking everyone to come out and support the fundraisin­g event on Friday and support their local club.

Events like this have become even more important in the current climate allowing everyone to enjoy an evening out at the bingo but from the safety of their cars and everyone is welcome to come along.
