2026 Charity Night

 

 

Our charity night will take place on Monday, February 23rd. The chosen charity this year is the Sandymount Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society who are helping the families and individuals in our local community who are experiencing severe burdens, with many living below the poverty line.
 

There will be a raffle on the night and raffle donations are very welcome. We would appreciate it if you could bring them to the club on Monday 16th, but if that is not possible, you can give your donation to any committee member before the actual night.

 

PRE-REGISTRATION for the charity night is required. You can register on the next two Monday evenings or by contacting Anne Cooke, (087)2832910 or Ann Maher, (086)0506581.

 

Thanking you in advance for supporting this worthy charity.
