CRECORA MANISTER GAA CLUB NOTES

CLUB FACILITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN:

We await a decision on grant funding for the first item of our plan, the Community Walking Track, from West Limerick Resources Leader Group, which we hope to have before Christmas.

If approved we will need local own funding of 25% for the project, ie €15,000 approximately.

Contributions are already starting to come in to the stand alone fund account being operated jointly between the GAA Club and Camogie Clubs, and we thank those early donors for their support.

Phase 2 will see an application for Sports Capital Funding hopefully in early 2021 to progress pitch improvements and developments, and own funding of approximately €45,000 will be needed to complete all items, in conjunction with grant aid.

Please help us by contributing now to our fundraising efforts either by lodging directly to our:

Development Fund Account with Bank of Ireland:

IBAN: IE26 BOFI 9044 9947 4969 71,

or you can do so online at:

If we can raise enough match funding locally we can complete projects in a quicker time frame which will benefit all our players in the GAA and camogie clubs.

Fundraising Christmas Message:

Look out for the GAA and Camogie Clubs Christmas Fundraising Message going out on What’s App in early December, featuring lovely aerial drone footage of the Crecora and Manister areas.

CLUB AGM:

Please note the Club AGM will take place online using Microsoft Teams on Wednesday December 9th at 8pm. As per previous notification, this year’s AGM will unfortunately have to take place virtually using Microsoft Teams. I will send out a link closer to the day but if you could all prepare and download the Teams App to your desktop/smartphone etc. It is standard function same as Zoom and will not cost you once you have Microsoft Op system.
