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.
