As President of our club, I am asking all our members, their families and supporters of our club to give your full support and commitment to our club in our campaign to improve and provide top quality sports and recreation facilities in the Temple Vevay Sportsfield.
The club is now in the process of getting a lease on the ground from Bray Town Council. The club hopes in the very near future to seek planning permission to build a new clubhouse and spend in the region of one million Euro to upgrade the ground and provide excellent sports and recreation facilities for the youth and children of the area.
For the past thirty years, I have had the honour of being President of our club. I am now seeking election to Bray Town Council and Wicklow County Council. I am asking for your support and your number one vote in the forthcoming Local Elections.
It is most important that Wolfe Tone & District Youth Club have a strong voice on the Council so our plans to promote and develop our club are fully carried out.
Yours in Sport,
Cllr. John Byrne.
