BOND SALES UPDATE – WE NEED YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
Email bonds.longfordac@gmail.com
We are still on target with our bond sale initiative but we need your continued support to make our project happen. We have raised €110,000 in the last five weeks in bond sales thanks to the support we have received so far from the people of Longford and beyond. We still need your help before we start our project, with your help we hope to be ready to go in April.
This facility will have the potential for much further development in the future and could become a class leading athletics venue where the people of Longford can watch our own athletic stars like Cian Mc Philips perform and where the stars of tomorrow can train and develop.
We are very close to reaching our goal. Help us get there.

BOND SALES UPDATE – WE NEED YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
We are still on target with our bond sale initiative but we need your continued support to make our project happen . We have raised €98,000 in the last four weeks in bond sales thanks to the support we have received so far from the people of Longford and beyond.
This facility will have the potential for much further development in the future and could become a class leading athletics venue where the people of Longford can watch our own athletic stars like Cian Mc Philips perform and where the stars of tomorrow can train and develop.
We are still a little short of where we need to be and are asking anybody with an interest in athletics and sports in Longford to consider buying one of our €2000 bonds. These will be repaid over 10 years and you will be entered in a quarterly prize draw. Your money will be secure and repaid in full.
Our completed project will be close to €1.5 million in value. If we fail to get it started in the next few weeks approximately €750k in grant aid and other inputs will be lost to Longford. We know there are many supporters of running and athletics in Longford with a great appetite for finally having proper athletics facilities in Longford, just like in most other counties. We are very close to reaching our goal. It is within our grasp.
Please help if you can. Email bonds.longfordac@gmail.com for more information.

As of January 2021, in order for this project to succeed we need to secure an additional €280,000. Our finance committee has exhausted all avenues of securing this additional funding. As such we hope that a basic loan scheme – in the form of repayable bonds – will help us secure this additional finance.
We have a long list of people who have brought us this far and to whom we are very thankful – club members, the people of Longford (at home & abroad), Longford County Council, councillors, LCRL, TDs, senators, lovers of athletics and sport in general… But the reality is we need one final push to ensure the project will be a success. So please – we really need YOUR help.
If you are interested in assisting with this incredibly important project, or discussing the scheme, which will have such a positive impact on our community, then please contact one of our committee members. Be assured, there will be no hard sell.
