Development Update: Work continues on the field with the diggers back on site over the past few weeks.
A big few weeks now lie ahead as we reach the final stages of this phase of the project - drainage systems will be prepared and the field then levelled out with topsoil and sand.

The costs continue to be a major part of this and so we are continuing to seek funding for this phase of the project.

Our membership packages are still open and we thank everyone who has contributed to this to date. If you would like to avail of any of these packages, please contact any club officer or committee member for more information.

Donations can also be made electronically - bank details available from Anne Kennedy and John Tooher. Please be sure to include your details if transferring money to this dedicated fundraising account.

Lotto: This week's lotto Jackpot was €3,900. Our new lotto boxes are now located in the following businesses in the town - The Hi-B, JKC, Centra, Rocky’s, Cleary’s Daybreak & Andy’s. You can buy your lotto tickets here each week and they will be included in the next lotto draw.

So please keep an eye out for our new lotto boxes in these premises and please continue to support our lotto. You can also continue to play our lotto online or contact any Committee member.

Thank you for your continued support of our lotto.

Tipperary Draw: The first draw in the 2022/23 Tipperary draw was held last Friday night and the club had two winners - congrats to Joe Donoghue and Marion Ryan who won €300 each.

We would like to thank all those who supported the draw once again this year and also to all our promoters and to Marion and Bartley Ryan for the work they have put in over the last number of weeks.
