Our Lotto fundraising has been in place since 2014 and in that time we have paid out over €30,000 in weekly Lucky Dips with two prizes of €50 every week. We have also had two jackpot winners winning €13,800 in total some of which was generously donated back to the club for course development for which we are very grateful.
We have used the funds raised of c €10,000 over the 6 years to assist in the purchase of machinery such as our Drain Jetter, Shockwave & Scarifier that have made an enormous difference to our course and it also allowed us to refurbish the middle(white) Gents tee on the 18th.
We have however, after a lot of consideration, taken the decision to discontinue our Lotto as the revenue generated never achieved our expectations despite numerous drives and initiatives and the hard work of various people who tried to encourage more participation. We are very grateful to the loyal group of members and friends who stuck with us for most or all of the journey and an especial word of thanks to former Captain Tom McDonagh for all his work and dedication to the project over the years.
All players will be refunded for any outstanding paid draws remaining and we are working out how we can do this in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Please bear with us on this as some of the committee are on holidays over the next few weeks. We will email all players the details of this in due course. If you have an “auto renew” ticket will you please ensure that you cancel this now.
So our final draw therefore saw the following numbers drawn 1,7,8 and 20 and the luck just wasn’t there but Joe Blake and Monica McDonagh took the last two Lucky Dip prizes of €50 each.
This is not the end of our fundraising as we are keenly aware that work is urgently needed for a number of our tee boxes, both ladies and gents, but we need to have bigger fundraising ambitions to get this work done in the short term. We are proposing to commence an ambitious tee box improvement programme starting this autumn starting with remedial works, funded by surplus funds remaining in the Lotto kitty, and hope to commence bigger build projects in 2021. We will share more details shortly with all members on how we propose to fund this necessary project.
Thank you most sincerely for all your support and we look forward to sharing details of new projects
with you in the future.
Yours sincerely
The Lotto Fundraising Committee
