Last year, the club launched its 300 Club draw. Several people in the town have got on board and are contributing to the scheme. However, Wolfe ‘Tones PRO Colman Garrihy is continuing to appeal to those who have not yet signed up, to dig deep.
‘Club members and other supporters who have not yet joined the 300 Club draw in aid of this vital project for the town are urged to sign up straight
away, said Mr Garrihy.
The club is stressing that the new facilities are part of the plan for the future and it is the young people of the town who will benefit most from the work being undertaken this year. Wolfe Tones is also appealing for former players to get involved in coaching the underage teams.
“Between all three projects, there will be in the region of €250,000 in- vested in additional and improved fa- cilities at Wolfe Tones over the com- ing months,’ said Mr Garrihy.
“While there are very welcome Lotto grants approved for the develop- ments, there is still a very significant investment required from the club and the local community,” he said.
“The club is greatly appreciative of the support received from the mem- bers and from the wider community, including businesses, for their overall activities to date,” added Mr Garrihy.
