A table quiz in aid of our Mothers & Others team will take place in McNamara’s Bar and Lounge this Friday, May 17 at 9pm.

All proceeds will go towards the cost of the team’s trip to New York in October for a blitz involving 34 other clubs from Ireland. Entry is €40 for a table of four and €10 thereafter.

Win Coldplay tickets!

We have two corporate tickets to give away to see Coldplay in Croke Park on Sunday, September 1.

Tickets for the raffle are now available on our ClubZap App or from any club member at a cost of €5 for one or €10 for three. They will also be available to buy at various locations in the near future. The Coldplay tickets are kindly sponsored by Martin and Sharon Dowdall, while printing of the tickets is sponsored by Midland Cladding.

Darkness into Light

There was a huge turnout for our annual Darkness into Light walk in the early hours of last Saturday morning.

We were joined on the walk by a large group of friends of the late Paddy Dunican whose death by suicide on April 6 last was greeted with widespread shock and sadness. All donations from the walk goes directly to Pieta House.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Kelly-Ann Mealiffe for all her work in organising this year’s event.

 

Lotto

Last week’s lucky numbers were 3, 5, 8 and 14. There was no jackpot winner; Pat Mealiffe, Colin Draper, Elaine Brady, Finbar Coffey and Ruth Fitzpatrick were the Match 3 winners.

This week’s jackpot is €7,900. Don’t forget our new lotto box in Centra Kilbeggan which allows you to enter our weekly draw by filling in a lotto ticket and dropping it into the box. A huge thanks to Komplete Kitchens & Interiors for sponsoring the new box and to Niall Rugbytots and Woodlawn Montessori & Preschool for sponsoring the envelopes.

Another lotto box will be installed at Mace Applegreen soon and in other locations. Thank you for your continued support.
