Crookedwood GAA Notes

Fundraising Spinathon 

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered at the spinathon. It was a great success, so well done to children and adults alike. Thanks also to those of you who couldn't make it but donated to the gofund me page. All funds generated will be put towards developing our club facilities.

The jackpot was not won, and the following were the prize winners: Susan Murray, Jackie Connell, Bríd Duffy. Our next draw will be on Thursday 30th September. Like all clubs, normal fundraising activities have been put on hold for the foreseeable future. To that end we are asking all club supporters, near and far to support our lotto as this is the only means we have available to pay the bills. You can now play online via the link; www.klubfunder.com and search for CrookedwoodGAAClub/lotto. It is easy to play and set-up an account if you wish to do so. For smartphone users there is also an app called Klubapp where you can select Crookedwood as your club and play the lotto at the touch of a button. This gives Crookedwood people all over the world a simple option to support the club. We are still accepting cash payments if the online method is not for you. There is also an option to pay in advance for a year, please contact any club member and the paperwork can be posted or emailed to you. Thank you for your continued support.
