Dear Members, - I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to ask for your help. The club has brilliantly expanded the number of kids and teenagers playing rugby in our community. We want to do even better and add ladies’ and girl’s teams to the ranks playing in the club colours. We need your assistance to make that happen. Increased numbers and more severe winter storms have seen the club cancel Sunday Rugby and matches on too many occasions, and this all comes back to our lack of space. We want to overcome some of these issues and ensure we do not again have to send messages that our pitches are closed. This loses the club 1000s of individual hours of rugby development per year and restricts our ability to grow. With that in mind our excellent pitch development committee has come up with a plan to develop an all-weather area on the top pitch, so rain or shine, we’ll be out there! We need your contributions to make it happen. The Minis and Youths have led the way, and we are now asking all members to go to our GoFundMe appeal and contribute the suggested €30 donation or as much more or less as you can manage. Every penny of this fund and previous dinners, quizzes, etc, has been ringfenced and will be spent solely on the all-weather pitch. Senior Sides will be using this area very rarely. It is an investment for the young people of the club and community. Please donate at ..gofundme.com/f/malahide-rfc-pitch-development… or If indeed your company is in a position to make a more substantial contribution to this project then please do get in touch with me directly anytime at chairman@malahiderfc.ie, and we can outline sponsorship and corporate packages available. Thank you. Yours Sincerely,
Aidan Brophy Malahide RFC Chairperson
