The club is delighted to announce that we have obtained a new defibrillator to be kept at the clubhouse. A massive thanks to Allen Banks of Cullens Bar for sponsoring the full price the defib, coming in at € 1,000. An extremely generous donation to the club and to the wider community of Collooney. The defibrillator is currently located in the first aid room in the clubhouse. The defib will be the property of Owenmore Gaels, it is for the entire community should its services be required. It is our wish to store the unit outside the clubhouse so it can be accessed at any time in case of emergency. To do this a special temperature controlled box needs to be purchased. This box costs € 520 + VAT and will need to be installed and power ran to it. To fundraise for the defib box, we intend to hold a raffle on our Owenmore Gaels Operation Transformation night out in Cullens Bar on February 25. More info on the raffle will be announced in the coming days. We greatly appreciate all support for this in terms of tickets purchased and prizes donated.
