GAA club in Kilkenny gearing up for major development fundraiser

Conahy Shamrocks GAA Club are poised to launch a major development fundraiser and are seeking the support of everyone in the community to ensure its success.

The club are aiming to undertake a significant upgrade to the facilities in the Polo Grounds, which will initially see the increase of parking facilities, an extra entrance/exit point to ensure safe access to the grounds and the provision of an astroturf playing pitch and ball wall.

This will come at a significant cost, and while the club are seeking National Lottery funding to assist with this, it must also fundraise a large portion of the cost.

The fundraiser will involve a ticket draw, with the winner receiving a new Hyundai Tucson car or €35,000 in cash.

Tickets for the draw will be €25 each, or three for €65 or five for €100.

The club is appealing in particular to all GAA club members, parents of children involved in Bórd na nÓg activities and parents/player members of Conahy Camogie club to assist as much as possible with this fundraising draw, either in buying or selling as many tickets as possible.

A website that will allow the purchase of tickets for the draw will be live in the coming days, and the draw will actively be promoted on social media platforms.

All support would be greatly appreciated for what will be a development to benefit both young and old in the community.
