SALE OF WORK/FIREWOOD AUCTION.
Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickhams will hold their annual Sale of work/ Wheel of Fortune and Firewood auction on Sunday the 30th
November.
As with every other year we are asking landowners or anyone with access to firewood to please donate some trailer loads if at
all possible. We are willing to cut any unwanted firewood if you cannot do so yourself. Please contact Tony Farrell @
087-9399836, Tommy Hayes @ 087-7934739, Kevin Farrell @ 087-6857564, Pat McCormack @ 087-7986234, Pat Ryan 087-0527989 or
Mgt Hayes 087-2775971 The Kickhams firewood auction with its tractor and car trailer loads of quality hard wood, all blocked
and split is a great fundraiser for the club and along with the Sale of work and Wheel of Fortune has contributed greatly
to reducing the outstanding balance of the financial debt owed by the club. A debt that was necessarily accrued during the
development works that included the purchase of lands from Coillte Teo to develop a new field as well as the works that were
carried out on the entire property, New spectator Stand, Dressing rooms, Perimeter fencing, hurling wall and much more all
to ensure that the playing and meeting facilities at Kickham Park in Dundrum are of the highest quality and are being enjoyed
and appreciated by all within the entire club, including Juvenile, Camogie as well as the Senior section of the
Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickham GAA Club. So in the coming weeks we will be holding meetings to organize the various events on
the day and we would appeal to all involved in or with an interest in Gaelic games in our Parish to please come along, get
involved with your club and help our native games to continue to proper in our Parish and community.
