Our clubs membership for 2024 is now open with fees unchanged from last year.

Membership is vital for the running of your club to cover insurance, affiliation fees and all operational costs with running a busy club, which have increased like everything else in our lives.

In 2024 we hope to increase the club lotto revenue stream which has proved invaluable to the club by covering a multitude of playing costs, most notably sliotars which are expensive. By signing up the the True Blue option members will get a discounted yearly subscription for the lotto with a current jackpot of €14900 alongside their membership. We are appealing to members to join the True Blue crew and help boost your club.

The fees for membership covers insurance and registration with the GAA for 2024 and for full membership includes a contribution to our development fund, which previously had been collected at each training session. Traditionally the €2 per player per session at the pitch was collected from March – October (whilst playing on the pitches).

The amount that has been included in the membership fee reflects a reduction in this cost to members, especially if you have more than one playing member in a family. These monies have been used to develop an astro facility in Raheen road and further developments in Raheen will be communicated in the coming weeks.

We also have an option to enter our club lotto on renewal/sign up to membership. For a fee of €80, you will 1 entry to our lotto for 52 weeks, which again reflects a reduction from the normal cost.

By signing up for the lotto subscription with your membership, you will be eligible for

• Inclusion in draws for access to tickets for Tipperary championship matches up to and including the All Ireland Final.
• Entry to draw for All Ireland Tickets.
• Entry to a special ‘lucky dip’ club lotto draw!

We understand that fees at any time of year, but particularly in the new year, can be onerous, so the club has provided the option of payment plans for those who sign up. These are available through the online system with our dedicated clubzap app.
