To get everything in place we need 1) 1.5 tonne digger (no bigger) 2) 1 tonne dumper 3) 10 tonne skip 4) 10 metres concrete (6 metres needed initially) Please pm the page or contact 07793066146 if you can help.

St Johns Notes
St Johns Notes W/c 19th July 2021  Following on from the phenomenal response we had to our initial fundraiser for Joseph Steen, Joseph’s family, St John's GAA and Aughlisnafin GAC are so grateful to every single person who helped raise an amazing £1600 in 3 days. Over the weekend we were contacted by our fellow Gaels in St Colman's GAC Drumaness along with St Patrick's PS and Christ the King Primary School, Drumaness, Co Down, who are hosting a tractor run on 7th August and all proceeds to this fundraiser.  We have since been approached by a local builder, Nicky Doyle from NW Doyle Construction and Mark Rooney from MPR Electrical and a number of tradesmen who have offered their time and expertise to do the work ASAP to help Joseph recover. We often talk about #GAAFAMILY but this has blew us all away with the empathy and kindness shown. We are launching a just giving page to help buy the materials and items needed to make life a bit easier for Joseph and his family. Every little amount helps and the family are shell-shocked at the offers to help. The builder intends to carry out this work very soon and all offers of help are very welcome. Please pm St John's GAA Facebook page if you can offer time or materials. To donate please click on the link below https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/joesteen
St John’s GAC would like to pass on our Congratulations to Senior Footballer, Hugh Flanagan & Channan Savage, also to G4MO player, Aisling Savage & Gavin Connolly who’s weddings occurred last week. We wish you all the happiness in the world.

St Johns Notes W/c 12th July 2021  *Joseph Steen Fundraiser* St John's GAA and Aughlisnafin GAC are running a joint fundraising initiative to help a juvenile player who got injured recently. At this point in time Joseph cannot walk or stand and this understandably has made life very difficult for this young Gael. To aid his return to full mobility he will need intensive physio and his family are facing increased costs dealing with his rehabilitation. We are hoping to raise funds to install a downstairs wet-room in his house to help assist with his recovery. Any excess funds the family don't need will be donated to charity. To kick-start this we ran a ‘First Goal‘ competition for last Sunday’s Euros final. We raised £1900 in total, with £300 prize fund going to Colleen Cope for having the correct minute and £1600 for Joseph. Well done Colleen! St Colman's GAC Drumaness have very kindly teamed up with St Patricks Primary school Parent Support Group and Christ the King Primary School Parent Support Group to host a Tractor Run on Saturday 7th August with all proceeds being donated to towards Joseph’s Fund.  Congratulations to our Ladies Minor player Cara McKee who was playing with the Down Minor County team & our Senior Men’s player Andrew Gilmore who was playing with the Down U20 County team last week!  Congratulations to Sarah McMullan on her win in the Down Draw.
