Lotto Tickets for December Any Lotto Ticket that is purchased in the club lotto draw for the 1st, 8th and the 15th of December that does not win a prize will be put into the drum for a Christmas draw on the 20th of December which is our club night. There will be a number of prizes on the night which will also include 7 Meat Vouchers valued at €50 each.
Special Achievement Sarsfields GAA would like to congratulate Vincent Millar on his achievement of been presented with a medal to recognise his 50 year service in the Civil Defence, the first time this award has been presented in Kildare.
National Draw The GAA announced its second national club draw which was launched in Croke Park earlier this week. The draw itself will take place on 27th February 2015 at Congress. The cost of each ticket is €10 and while all of the prizes are provided by the GAA at central level, the proceeds from each ticket sale stays with the selling club so for every ticket sold your club keeps 100% of the funds.
This draw will provide Sarsfields GAA club with excellent opportunity to start 2015 off on the right foot financially if we can sell a large number of these tickets. Your support in this draw would be greatly appreciated.
All sold tickets will have to be returned by 24th January 2015 giving each club a 14 week period to sell the tickets plus the added bonus of the festive period which should also help sales.
AGM The AGM of Sarsfields GAA will take place on the 7th December in the main hall of the club. The Meeting will start at 15.00 and we ask all members to attend and arrive early. Thank you.
