Churchtown GAA wishes to expand the services to all its members (senior and juvenile alike) substantially in the period from 2005 to 2010. The Club is proposing to invest a further €850,000 in facilities. The main developments planned as are follows: Summary Proposed Capital Expenditure 2005 - 2010 2004 to 2006 Footpaths

Almost €90,000 of this money has been invested in developing the sports grounds, obtaining planning permission and fire certification and developing construction drawings and preparing tender documents. The remaining €160,000 is on deposit with AIB. The Hurling Alley and Sports Hall is expected to
cost €750,000. Tenders are being finalised. The Club is seeking
a grant of €450,000 which will be added to its savings of €160,000.
The balance of €140,000 has been approved as a bank loan. The
Sports Hall will be 4,000 square feet and the adjoining Hurling
Alley will be 2,000 square feet. The entire building is 36m x 15.6m
or 561 square metres (6,000 square feet). The Sports Hall will be
available for indoor sports such as indoor football, tennis, badminton,
volleyball, basketball to groups within the North Cork area. The
Sports Hall will use the existing dressing rooms and showers which
will adjoin the hall. Twenty
Years of Growth 1984 - 2004 Up to 2004 the total capital investment by Churchtown GAA since it purchased its own grounds on the edge of the village in 1984 amounts to €735,000.

who supported our Club lottery. On behalf of the current committee of Churchtown GAA we wish to thank and acknowledge all our players and supporters over all the years the Club has been established. We should be particularly grateful for the foresight of the committee in the 1980s who had the courage to purchase enough space for two pitches and grounds for matching facilities. Inspired by the selfless work of officers and committees over many many years and in the interest of future generations we once again invite everyone to support this major community development in Churchtown. Thank you. Colm
