Last chance to enter major Glinsk Community Draw

Following weeks of hard work, door-to-door sales, and videos that captured the imagination of thousands of people online across the globe, the finishing line is fast approaching! The last tickets are now being sold for the Glinsk Community Draw, being held on Saturday, June 3rd 2023, in the Glencastle Lounge in Glinsk.

The Glinsk vision is to provide an all-inclusive Sports and Recreational facility that will accommodate everyone, from the youngest toddler to the elderly. Central to the Glinsk vision is the aim of developing a culture of accessibility and inclusion for all – regardless of physical, cultural or developmental ability.

This fundraising drive has been a mammoth effort from the entire

Glinsk community. All ticket sellers report a very generous response from the public and as a result, they are on course to reach their fundraising target of €300,000. The organisers wish to thank all who have purchased tickets.

Glinsk got the first taste of upcoming developments just after Christmas when their state-of-the-art, fully floodlit, tarmacadam walking track (complete with security fenc- ing) was officially opened, together with a new footpath linking the village centre with the Community Centre complex. This footpath and walking track offer a safe off-road environment for relaxation and activity for all age groups.

The Glinsk community group have purchased an eight-acre site adjacent to the existing football pitch and community centre, and this will be the location for a much-needed carpark, children’s playground, indoor astro-turf arena, community gym, yoga room, changing facilities and coffee dock. The Glinsk group acknowledge the great support and sponsorship of PJ and Mary Fahy of ECC Timber Products.
