North Louth's Cúchulainn Gaels to bronze up to raise much-needed funds

It's farmers' tans no more for the north Louth's Cúchulainn Gaels senior GAA team, who will be going from 'pitch to perfect' next week, as they launch their most glowing fundraiser yet, and in support of a new venture from local businesswoman, Niamh McCloskey.

In a bid to raise much-needed funds for an extended pitch, walking tracks, and new clubrooms, members of the senior squad have bravely volunteered to bronze up and show off their finer side.

The local lads will be tackling tan lines, all in the name of club pride, by being among the first to try out a brand new state-of-the-art automated tanning booth at Niamh McCloskey's Radiant Tan, part of Radiant Beauty, in Omeath on Saturday 15th November. 

The lads will be pictured sporting their new tans for a special fundraising calendar being produced by the club.

And everyone is invited to head along on the day, and see the 'tan-fastic' results of the 'tanning marathon', as well as the official opening of the tanning booth, at a special 'Sip and See' event running from 3-4pm at the Radiant Beauty Salon, Station Road, Omeath. 

There will also be opportunities to try out the self-tanning booth for yourself, with free walk-ins on the day, and a further chance to win three free tans in a free raffle on the day, by simply downloading the Radiant Tan app on site.

Niamh McCloskey, owner of Radiant Beauty and Radiant Tan, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to invite everyone to the official opening of Radiant Tan, our brand new state-of-the-art self-tanning booth here at Radiant Beauty. Join us for a special Sip & See event at the salon, where you can enjoy some bubbles, explore our gorgeous new tanning system, and see what all the glow is about.

"We're especially delighted to welcome members of the Cúchulainn Gaels senior GAA team, brave enough to be among the first to give Radiant Tan a go! We can't wait to see them glowing both on and off the pitch. Come celebrate with us!"
Roddy McQuaid, Chairman of Cúchulainn Gaels GAC Club. said: "We, as a club, are pleased to support Niamh for the launch of her latest venture. This collaboration forms part of a creative fundraising initiative aimed at supporting the continued development of club facilities. We would encourage everyone to join with members of our senior team and come down to the salon for a bit of craic on the afternoon of November 15th.”
So whether you're into Gaelic football, love a bit of spray tanning, or just want to be part of some light-hearted community spirit, get involved and come along to the event.
