Dear Club Supporter
Despite the difficult times at the moment, Shannon Gaels G.A.A. Club are day by day continuing to provide Gaelic Games and coaching to all members of the community both male and female from age 6 and up. As a sports club we are extremely fortunate to have coaches, helpers and officials who give of their time for free. Without this support we simply could not continue as a club.
We are currently improving our existing Gaelic facilities at Cortober, Carrick on Shannon, Co. Roscommon. The work on the pitch development and erection of new dressing-rooms/toilet facility is crucial in making our training ground correlate with modern G.A.A. standards. To date, Phase 1 has been completed i.e. – drainage and re-surfacing of our playing pitch, erection of new goal posts and net minders, new flood lighting system, construction of new dressing-rooms (including roof, windows and doors) and toilet/store-room facility. Phase 1 has been completed for the sum of €50000.00 and has been paid for in full by the Club Development Draw which took place in October 2007. Phase 2 of the development will be completed by March 2010 – i.e. the internal finishes to the dressing-rooms, installation of electrical and plumbing including showers, external drainage, footpaths etc. and completion of flood lighting to pitch.
Due to the present economic climate, no grant funding has been made available from government or any other source. The work completed to this stage is being aided by a tremendous local voluntary input; which the club is in deep gratitude of.
The estimated cost to finish the work i.e. Phase 2 on time is €30000.00.
We are holding a Development Draw in order to raise the adequate finance to get Phase 2 completed on time. We know that times are difficult for everybody at the moment but we hope that when you look at the benefits that this facility will provide to all age groups within the club, that you will support our new fundraiser.
Tickets are 50 euro each or three for 100 euro. First prize is €2000.00 Members of the club will be calling to you in the next few days looking for your support and answering any questions you may have.
We thank you for all your support in the past and look forward to your support in the future.
