Good morning,

As you all maybe aware, we have very recently begun our fundraising drive to raise money for our state of the art, fully floodlit, 3G Superb Astro pitch, and enclosed ball wall area. This is a very ambitious project and now the club is in great need of your help.

We were unable to have a launch due to the COVID-19 guidelines, so we gathered a very small number of people together from different training groups and asked them to spread the word. With COVID-19 very much dictating our society, we felt the best way to communicate our plans was through our social media channels and with this follow up letter.

This is the most ambitious project the club has ever undertaken but with your help, we can achieve our goal. Let’s do this for our players, coaches, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and neighbours but most of all, for all our future. For less than €5 Euro a week, you can help our Club achieve this.

Please see the enclosed brochure below. This project is due to begin mid-September and will take approximately two months to complete, weather permitting.

For any further information ( including plans or drawings etc), please feel free to contact any of the fundraising team at any time to discuss any concerns or questions you may have. You will find the contact information at the end of this communication.
