300 Club and Déise
Draw
As you may be aware we recently launched our “300 Club” Fundraising
initiative. This is similar to the Development Fundraiser we ran in the last
number of years whereby people donated €300 to the club to help with the
development of our club grounds. The money raised from this latest version will
be used to help pay for extending our hurling wall and astro turf, provide
additional car parking and repay our loan with Croke Park. Those who sign up
for the 300 Club will be given a Déise Draw ticket and it also includes their
membership. The €300 can be paid in instalments by Direct Debit or up front,
and all monies raised will be used to improve our facilities for all our
playing members, both young and old. If you are interested in joining the 300
Club then please contact any committee member and they will be happy to help
you join up.
The Déise Draw has been changed for 2017 and it now consists of 6 draws
costing €15 a month or €90 in total. The Déise Draw has been our main
fundraiser for many years and the funds raised from the draw help us meet the
ever rising costs associated with running our club. If you would like to join
the draw please contact any Committee Member.
Club Leisure Wear
Our new range of Club Leisure wear has arrived and is proving extremely
popular with young and old alike. If you missed out on the gear this time then
there’s no need to panic as we will be taking orders for the next two weekends.
Field Bookings
We ask that all team managers book their times for training / matches with
Michael O'Donovan in advance of returning to training. Managers must notify
Michael in advance if they wish to change from their allocated time.
Club Bingo
Our club bingo session continues in the CBS Hall this Sunday night with
a jackpot of €1050.
Sympathy
On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our sympathies to the
family and friends of the late Mrs. Kathleen Collins who passed away last week.
Mrs. Collins’ sons, Mick, Ger and Jim all played with the club for many years
and her daughter Marita has been a great help to the club through her work in
the Dungarvan Observer office. Mrs. Collins’ grandsons continue the great
family tradition by playing for the club today and once again we send our
sympathies to her family especially to Marita, Mary, Jim and Ger.
