Welcome to Glenmore Athletic Club - Monster draw: Page

 

MONSTER DRAW

Glenmore Ac hosted their Monster Draw & social evening on Friday 29 th May in the Granvue Hotel, Omeath. A “monster” thanks to all in the peninsula who generously supported this draw which raised €23,500 for the club thus paying off most of the debt on Bush Track. This was a huge feat which could only have been achieved through the generous support of athletes, members, parents & most especially the community.


A minute's silence was observed for the repose of the soul of Joseph Laverty, father of Anna McGinn, club secretary. Our condolences to Anna & the McGinn family at this difficult time.

JUST A FEW PHOTOS TAKEN ON THE NIGHT-PHOTOGRAPHER ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY AS HE HAD A FEW BEERS AND CAN'T REMEMBER MUCH-HOPE NO ONE IS TOO UPSET OVER QUALITY!!
We would also like to thank the Granvue Hotel, Omeath for a lovely meal & their cordiality.

Glenmore AC would, once again, like to thank all those who supported us. It is a credit to the local community, members, parents & sponsors alike that such a sum was collected, which has allowed us to pay for this wonderful facility at Bush Track. Míle buíochas.
