ENNISCRONE/ KILGLASS GAA
The first training sessions took place in the indoor astro turf last Friday evening, with the facilities greatly appreciated on a wintry night. While the playing area is now complete, the club needs to raise € 59,000 to help bring the complex to completion ( heating, electrics, toilets, dressing room, kitchen etc.). In this regard, the club will require the generosity of the community: individuals, families and businesses, both at home and abroad. As previously advertised, you can sponsor a brick at € 100, a block at € 250 or a wall at € 1,500.
The official launch of our fundraising efforts will take place next weekend, and there will be a draw for cash prizes of € 1,000 and € 500 for those who donate prior to the May Bank Holiday weekend. There will be teams in the various areas/ town lands to contact to donate, and there will also be weekly meeting points held around the parish to facilitate people who wish to donate. Further details on payment methods will be made available inside the next week. Your support at this extraordinary time in the club’s history is greatly appreciated.
