Clubhouse Opening Ceremony on Sunday 11th of October

As you know, after 22 years of much endeavour, Castleknock Celtic FC has realised one of its main targets, a clubhouse to be proud of in Porterstown, complementing its marvellous pitch facilities. This custom built clubhouse has been 4 years in planning and 8 months in construction. It will provide a permanent base for our members, with dressing room facilities for home and away teams, bathroom facilities for players and supporters, and light refreshments for all.

The clubhouse has been used by teams since September. It will be formally opened on Sunday, 11th October, 2pm, by Minister for Finance, Mr Brian Lenihan TD.

Joining us also on the day will be FAI Chief Executive, Mr. John Delaney, and the FAI Technical Director and Italia-90 hero, Packie Bonner.

There will be activities throughout the day on the pitches with the annual Penalty Shoot-out taking place from 10am, and exhibition matches from our 7-a -side and 11-a-side teams in the afternoon.

There will be light refreshments (tea, sandwiches) served after the official opening. However, in these straitened times, we are asking team members/parents to help us with this. We are appealing for something that is non-perishable, no matter how small, e.g. packs of bars, pre-packed biscuits, popcorn, cartons of juice, pre-packed buns/cakes. All goods may be given to team manager on or before Fri 9th October (ideally bringing them to the training session this week) or we can arrange collection. We need VOLUNTEERS to help with hospitality on the day, so if you can assist in any way, please contact any of the Social Committee listed below.

We hope you will join us to celebrate this great day in the history of the club, and if possible help us to make it successful.
