The Silver Linning

They say every cloud has a silver lining and this weekend the clouds are well and truly over the club with all Grass playing games we had on Saturday now cancelled.

With that in mind we urgently need volunteers to pack bags tomorrow in Supervalu with out these fundraisers we can not continue to provide sport to anyone in the club.  So now with you having lots of spare times please spare us an hour to help the club survive these hard time.

Bag Pack in Supervalu Johnstown

Supervalu in Johnstown Shopping centre have contacted us today and given us Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th to do a bag pack in store.  The bag pack in the past has proved to be a great fund raiser for the club and we are very grateful to Supervalu to let us do another one this year.

But we need your help.  We can not run the bag pack with out your help and it is so so important to the club that we have a great turn out.  So we are asking this time for you to spare us your time come down on the 24th or 25th and help us pack bags and shake buckets.  So if you can fill in your details on the form below and give us a few hours it really would go a long way.

But not only would you be helping the club  last year we gave 10% of what we collected to the Womens Refuge in Navan and this year we will be doing the same again.  So not only do you help your club but you help a great cause in the local community.
