Our annual benefit night, which was scheduled to take place last November, has now been re-scheduled to take place this coming Saturday, March 5th at Kilcohan Park.
Tickets for the night cost €10, and are now currently available from the following people. Declan Howard 087-9393818, Iona Heffernan 085-1154205, Colin Molloy Butchers Ferrybank, Lotto shop Ferrybank, Mandarin Palace Bar & Restaurant, Coffee by King ( Ferrybank GAA grounds, opened Saturday & Sunday, 9am-1pm).
All tickets sold by the club will see the money retained by us, which will go towards our day-to-day costs, and more importantly, help us to re-start projects we had hoped to do until the pandemic arrived.
There will be a courtesy shuttle Bus service on the night, bringing people to and from Kilcohan. Buses will depart the grotto at 6:50pm, and will return from Kilcohan at approximately 10pm. All in all a good night is assured, so come along and enjoy the night out, bring a few friends along, and hopefully have a couple of winners too.
