A GAA CLUB in Co Louth is auctioning off a four-bedroom house as part of a fundraising campaign to raise money for a new community centre.
St Fechin’s GAA club in Termonfeckin, just outside Drogheda, has included the house worth €280,000 as the top prize of its Win A Feckin’ House fundraising raffle.
Working with a local developer, the club secured the house in Termonfeckin’s Castle Park development, which is in close proximity to the local beach.
Launched last Friday, 8,000 tickets, priced at €100 each, are available for the giveaway. The GAA said all money raised during the fundraiser will to towards the development of a new community centre.
“We’ve been looking to get a community centre project off the ground for a number of years and have been thinking of ways in which we could raise the money. We think Win A Feckin’ House is a great idea,” club chairman John McEvoy said.
“We have a wonderful 21-acre site here and the community centre would be a fantastic facility, not only for our members but the wider community at large,” he said.
As well as the house, there are a range of other prizes up for grabs, including a Mediterranian cruise and an all-expenses-paid trip to Barcelona, Spain.
The winners of all prizes will be announced at a draw on Sunday 30 December in the Westcourt Hotel on West Street, Drogheda.

Gorgeous photos, I’d love to see them myself. Maybe one day!
Oh they’ll enjoy the saki under the cherry blossom trees. What a way to spend a day!
It’s their only day off though. Poor feckers
Actually, they have a full week off in early May for what they call Golden Week. As for the Cherry blossoms, they really make the most of them with families partying under the cherry blossom trees with great Japanese food, Sake and beer – all very well behaved and respectful, as is the Japanese way. It is a really unique country and I have had the pleasure of visiting there many times, Gambatte!
Only the once but if I got the chance I’d be back in a heartbeat.
Stunning !!
I want to know what dirt was in last Wednesdays rain? ? Cars in the area are filthy ever since!!
In Tokyo now. Cherry blossoms are not blooming unfortunately.
Just love cherry blossoms
have your say
