Our supporters who came on the night have all commented on what a great night they had and that is was great that the children could get involved and enjoy the night as well. We raised alot of money without too much effort and everyone got to enjoy a family fun night out, highly recommend:) May Elayne from Eadestown GAA Our club, Kilcullen GAA club held our fund raiser here recently and it was an excellent night. Joyce and her team were excellent and very professional in the set up of the event. The location was child friendly and this was a huge advantage as we wanted it to be a family event. The facilities was excellent with great food and drink available. The atmosphere is what makes it the great night it was and it s very suitable for any weather conditions. I d recommend the greyhounds as a fund raiser or even a good night out. The team at the stadium didn t let us down. Dec Nicholas from Kilcullen GAA
