The grounds of Skeheenarinky National School hosted last Sunday’s annual gala day. An important fundraiser for the school, the event attracted a very large crowd – most of whom had a connection to this progressive south Tipperary national school.

While the gala day takes place over a few hours, weeks of planning go in to its preparation. The gala day raffle is a major money spinner and thanks to a concerted fundraising drive, a substantial amount of money is collected well in advance of the big day.  

GALA DAY RAFFLE RESULTS

First prize in the gala day raffle (€200) was won by local woman, Rita Caplice. 2nd prize (€150) went to Jack Kearney, with Dylan Kearney winning a meal voucher. There was a large number of other prizes, the bulk of which were kindly sponsored by a variety of businesses.
