Hello, my name is Gerry Comerford,

I am an instructor in the Sword Fighting Club (Gaillimh Gallóglaigh) that takes place in Renmore Community Centre on Tuesday evenings. Unfortunately all of our gear was destroyed in a fire on Sunday the 3rd of December. The gear was not insured. It took us 7 years to build up our collection of fencing suits, masks, swords and children's equipment.

The club caters for people from all walks of life and has many members from across Europe. The children's club provides an inclusive for boys and girls to experience sport and recreation with a difference!

We would appreciate any donation you could make. It would mean that we could start to build up our club again. As it is, the club has been suspended indefinitely.

Many thanks, Gerry.
