It promises to be a great night’s entertainment as these quizzes are always enjoyed by all who partake.

Development Work
The past fortnight has seen a huge amount of work carried out on the development of our new club pitch. It has now been fully leveled and seeded to a very high standard and will be a fantastic asset to the club in the years ahead. Saturday morning there was a wonderful turnout of club members to help with the unglamorous task of picking stones off the land surrounding the new pitch. It was great to see this display of club spirit as members from all generations turned out to lend a hand, from young Tom Looby up to some of our longer standing members, especially Larry Cliife and Eddie Cashin who carried out similar work on our present Club Pitch and indeed on our old club pitch at Mrs. Cliffe’s many years ago. Welcome refreshments were provided by Mary Gorman and Mary O’Hare with the arrival of the bottles of coke giving our school’s coach a new lease of life, after his morning’s exertions.
Also at present our volunteer group of electricians are working on the installation of flood lighting the new ball alley, which they hope to complete in the next fortnight. Whilst this voluntary labour has helped reduce the cost of our present development work the club has still faced a huge outlay of money this year between building the ball alley, purchasing our new pitch and developing it. This would not have been possible without the generous support of our members and supporters who contribute to our Development Scheme, Deise Draw and Jack the Joker. We would ask that if there are any other members who are not currently supporting the development scheme and who may be in a position to do so, to please contact and Committee Member and they can arrange for you to join up. It is only with the continued support of ALL our members that we can continue to develop our facilities to the highest possible standards.
