As everybody knows, we are well advanced with the biggest capital project our Club has ever undertaken, our new Ionad Pobail Chill Dreasa/Kildress Community Hub at Gortacladdy.
It’s a massive undertaking but one that around 150 Kildress Gaels are currently tackling on a number of fronts.
Central to that are our Members of Cairde and Patrúin Chill Dreasa. Cairde members gift us £240 a year whilst Patrúin commit to donating £5,000. Since we re-energised these initiatives back in 2016, they have brought in well over £100,000 for our Club. All that money is ring-fenced for physical development. It will NOT be used for running costs but will purely and simply be invested in building our Kildress Gaelic legacy.
There are many important things in life. And that’s one of them.
Putting their shoulders to the wheel for Kildress are:
