Development Draw Winners
|
Many thanks to Fr. O'Leary who last Friday night drew the winning ticket in the Club Development Draw as the Club celebrated
a resounding fund-raising success.
This Draw has been easily the most successful fund raising activity
undertaken by the Club since the early 1980's.
The spread of prize winners gives a good indication of
effort put in by Club members, Players and Officers. As Club Chairman Denis Lucey said in his address prior to the Draw taking place,
selling tickets door to door is a thankless, difficult job, but the generally friendly faces that greeted the sellers certainly made
the job much easier.
The Chairman thanked the hard working Finance Committee and all the sellers for their tremendous work since
mid-August. It is believed that Danny Corcoran and Roy Payne may soon write a book detailing their lives as
door to door salesmen and the wonderful "talent" you get to meet on the door-step.
The Draw results were :
- 1st Prize - A brand new Ford Fiesta: Agnes O'Brien, Bandon
- 2nd Prize A holiday or €3,000 cash : Jerry O' Leary, Rossmore
- 3rd Prize €2,000 : James J. Murphy People,Leitrim Street, Cork
- 4th Prize €1,000 : Glaslyn Veterinary Clinic, Bandon
- 5th Prize Flat screen LCD TV : Cormac and Colm Cuinnea, Rosscarbery
- 6th Prize Laptop computer : Tom Wilson, Derrycool, Bandon
- 7th Prize €500 : Michael Lombard, Ballinhassig
- 8th Prize €500 : Vincent O' Donovan, Barryroe
- 9th Prize €500 : Conchur O' Leary, Ballingeary
- 10th Prize €500 : Dicey O'Rielly, Innishannon
All winners have at this stage been notified and the prizes are on the way.
Bandon GAA Club would like to place on record it's thanks to all the people of Bandon and all over West
Cork, Mid-Cork, and South East Cork, and indeed ticket purchasers much further afield for their generosity,
kindness and courtesy in contributing so generously to the success of the Draw.

Monsignor O' Callaghan launches Club Development Draw
|
Monsignor Kevin O' Callaghan launched the Club Development Fund Draw on Friday night in a very enjoyable
function held in the Pavilion. In a very rousing contribution the Monsignor urged people to support the Draw
and the Clubs efforts. He stressed the amateur ethos of the GAA and reminded people never to forget the great
contribution of past fund raisers and Club members who developed the Charlie Hurley Park and later the Pavilion.
Many of these stalwarts who sadly are no longer with us. Club Chairman Denis Lucey and Bob Clarke of Bandon Motors
who are providing the Ford Fiesta also addressed the large gathering.
The work of the Finance Committee now begins in earnest as the tickets will all be given out over the coming
week. Tickets for the Draw are selling for €20 each, three for €50 or seven for €100.

Development Details
|
Bandon GAA Club are currently developing our present top pitch to bring us into line with the other progressive
Clubs in Cork. This will be the Club's first major development since the Pavilion was completed back in 1978.
On completion the top pitch will be revamped into a full-size, sand based, all weather pitch with top quality
flood-lighting. The new facility will be usable 52 weeks of the year and will be ready for use early in 2010.
We are also installing a ball alley to improve hurling skills, as well as erecting fencing around both the top
and main pitches, and completing some essential maintenance work to the Pavilion building.
The overall cost of our Development will be just short of €500,000 and we have thankfully qualified for some National
lottery funding. The balance of the project is being funded by a massive Club Draw.
