We would like to sincerely thanks all of you who supported our Christmas raffle this year. We were overwhelmed with the generosity of families. We have taken in over €10,000 all of which goes to buy equipment for the club to benefit all the gymnasts.
All prizes were kindly donated by families and again we thank you so much for this. We would also like to thank Sylvia McDonagh who kindly helped Carol organise the raffle, Laura Vilsare who designed the fabulous and festive raffle card for us and all the coaches who patiently gave out the cards to all gymnasts for the last few weeks.
Our gymnasts were all very excited to help us picking out the winners.
