The sliotars, balls and cones are in short supply these days and the club treasurer won't release any funds for the lads until they do some fundraising. Conan even had to buy cones himself a couple of weeks ago! Aside from that, the club will fork out more than €5000 in pitch rental this year as it goes about improving training facilities.
Collie B is organising a fundraiser for the men's football and we would all greatly appreciate your support.
As you will read below, even if you can't attend on the night you can contribute by buying a horse or sponsoring a race. So family, friends etc at home and elsewhere can easily support. All money raised will go towards buying equipment and pitch rental costs.
Please read below for further details.

Night at the Races in DeValera's Irish Pub (Place Flagey) – Wednesday 13th July
Here's how it works:
1. Come early and study the form guide from 18.30 - this is your chance to get your research in… and get a head start on the other unsuspecting punters!! Have some food in Devs, down a drink and get your bet in early!
2. First race 7.30, last race 11.30
3. Bet before the race, then watch to see if you win
4. Collect your cash winnings
How does the Betting actually work?
We're using a tote system. We will keep 50% of takings and the other 50% will be paid out in winnings.
Every horse is also available to 'buy' – as an owner, if your horse wins the race, you will take the special prize donated by one of our 8 special race sponsors. You can become an owner for as little as €10 for a 1 in 8 chance to take a prize.
Race 8, the grand finale will feature a cash prize of €250, kindly donated by KTL and Niall Byrne. Ownership of the runners in the last race will be auctioned on the night. However, if you want to get in early, you can buy a horse for €50 in advance.
We need you to:
Spread the word – send this email and the poster to as many people as you can so we can get as much interest as possible in advance.
Book a VIB table – great if you are bringing work colleagues. Get free champagne, free food and your own personal betting service (no need to queue) for €60 for a 6 person table. Limited availability so book early!!
Get sponsorship. Do you know someone who might sponsor a race – either yourself or a friend, relative or company? Prizes can be cash or in kind, no prize too big or too small.
Buy a horse – or even better, get family/friends/colleagues to buy two – click on this link THIS LINK to pick your horse, email football.belgium@gmail.com to confirm and transfer the money to club account (details below).
Get a 1/8 chance to win €250 by snapping up a horse for the final race for €50 – sure to cost more on the night!! Email us to confirm purchase.
Most importantly - Show up and bet – bring colleagues, neighbours, friends, enemies or anyone else you can find on the way…
Any money collected in advance should be lodged to our club account, with your name and 'Race Night' in the subject line.
