A local camogie team is planning to use the Electric Picnic festival as a platform to raise funds for their own pitch, after facing challenges in finding a suitable playing area. The team, which has no permanent pitch, hopes to secure the necessary €30,000 through a crowdfunding initiative called Re-Turn. This scheme aims to provide the team with a dedicated space to train and compete, enhancing their chances of success in the sport.
The Electric Picnic, a major music and arts festival in Ireland, has become a key event for the team to showcase their ambitions. By leveraging the festival’s popularity, the team hopes to attract sponsors and supporters who can contribute to their cause. The Re-Turn scheme is designed to not only support the team but also to inspire other grassroots sports groups facing similar challenges.
The crowdfunding campaign will run during the festival, with the team engaging fans and attendees through various activities. If successful, the pitch will represent a significant milestone for the team, offering them a stable base for future growth. The outcome of the campaign will determine whether the team can turn their vision into reality.
