FIELD FIXERS:
The Field Fixers have helped finance all capital development
in Ferrybank GAA club since 2002. It is a donation scheme, paid via direct
debit, whereby people kindly contribute €25 per month (this also covers membership for the year).
So far, this scheme has financed our main and juvenile field
drainage, the installation of our running track and ball-stoppers, the
construction of the hurling alley, and most recently, the utility works,
concreting and tarmac work in the club’s car-park.
The club is about to embark on an exciting development that
will aid the Ferrybank community as a whole. In order to achieve this, we need
more Field Fixers to help us.
If you are interested in becoming a Field Fixer, please
contact Nicky Heffernan (087 672 4212) and/or email ferrybankgaa@gmail.com
Many thanks to all our Field Fixers, past and present. Your
kind contributions continue to help us to pave the way for the future of
Ferrybank.
