GRANAGH  UTD. F.C:

A.G.M.      We invite all interested parties, parents, managers, juniors to attend our AGM on Friday 24th June, 8.30pm, in the                    Community Centre.    Usually people do not attend in case they get a job but we have to look past that, because the viability of

the club is at stake.   See the following note regarding the Lotto. 

 

Lotto:     Unfortunately, the Club finds itself in the position of having to temporarily suspend the Lotto as there are no volunteers

available to sell tickets .    All the teams have done their month, some have even done two months.   The Lotto is the lifeblood of the

Club and pays everything from ESB bills to entry fees and all miscellaneous bills.   It costs approximately five thousand plus to run the

club per year.    Grant aid is almost a thing of the past so where is the money to come from ?     This is a major issue which will be up

for discussion at the AGM.      We need as many people as possible to attend to get their views and ideas.
