Costs of running a G.A.A. club

who what when · 2012-01-27 15:06:34

Just wondering if any of the people on here are involved in the day to day running of their local club. What kind of costs do you face each year? How do you meet these costs ie fundraising etc? For my own club (average enough size) we have to come up with 50,000 each year, about half of which comes from the local club…

For my own club (average enough size) we have to come up with 50,000 each year, about half of which comes from the local club lotto.
But some of the costs are staggering for example player registration and insurance 6,000 for the adult teams alone, ESB 7,000, pitch maintainance 8,000, Physio & Injuries 5,000, Hurls & Balls 2,500 etc etc.

Just wondering how other clubs compare and do you have any novel ways of cutting costs or indeed raising funds?
