Tesco Merrion, Bag Packing Fundraising Event, Volunteers Required

Railway Union Hockey Club has secured a lucrative ‘bag pack’ slot in Tesco Merrion this Saturday 8th of October from 10am-6pm. This event will be in aid of the Junior Hockey Club. As you know, a large scale fundraiser such as this can generate much valuable income for our ever growing junior club when run efficiently.

If you are able to volunteer any amount of time to supervise or help out at this event it would be much appreciate – no amount of time is too little! Please let me know by return email.
