Now that the glamour of the cocktail party is over we turn all our attention to the big fundraiser of the year, the Dream Auction.

So far we have over 75 dreams, and are aiming for 100. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated something. We need some more though! Nothing is too small or big and in fact we are looking for smaller items in particular at the moment. It can be anything from making jam, to dog walking to child minding, please just let us know what you can do.

So far some of our dreams include a homemade Christmas cake, half a dozen duck eggs, coaching sessions, a week in a house in the West of Ireland, a four ball with tuition, wakeboarding, whiskey, a days fishing and much much more.

The deadline for the ads in the brochure is this weekend so if you know of anybody that would wish to place and ad for €200 please contact John.

The night takes place on the 15th of November. A Full list of dreams will be published on the 5th of November. Please inform friends, family and other clubs of the dreams as we want this to be a big event for everyone associated with the club, or hockey in general. Funds will be going towards the development of hockey, with the primary aim of replacing the two pitches at a cost of up to€250000. Work has already begun on planning the new front pitch for next year so any help that can be given to this event is much appraicted.

We will be having a fork supper for €8 on the night before the event before bidding with David Bewley kicks off at 8pm.

All ideas can be brought to John Findlater at john.findyoulater@gmail.com
