Offaly GAA Lotto - club levy

Each Club in Offaly has to pay an annual levy towards the cost of the refurbishment of O'Connor Park. Similarly to last year, clubs now have the opportunity to ease their burden of the Levy (€3,500)  with the following scheme in place. For each individual who subscribes to or renews their subscription to the Offaly GAA lotto for the year, Rhode GAA will have €90 deducted off the club levy. The €90 subscription gives you entry into 52 draws, anyone interested in subscribing for the year  please contact.
