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.
