Coaching & development across all age groups
Equipment, gear and match-day costs
Facility upgrades and long-term projects
Keeping participation affordable for families
Strengthening the club for the next generation
Monthly support = predictable planning. That’s how clubs grow.

Quick questions
Is this the same as annual football club membership fees?
No — your annual football club fees stay the same. Club 1888 is a completely optional extra for anyone who wants to give a little more each month. We really appreciate it. Club 1888 benefits are administered quarterly by the committee to ensure fairness and sustainability.
What am I signing up for?
Club 1888 is a monthly contribution that helps Forkhill GAA plan ahead and invest in teams, facilities and the next generation. Some tiers include a few thank-you perks (like lotto lines, vouchers and gym access).
What’s the minimum term?
Club 1888 is a 12-month commitment. After that, you can choose to continue, upgrade, or stop — whatever suits.
What if I already play the lotto / pay membership another way?
Not a worry at all — Club 1888 is mainly about steady monthly support for the club. Any lotto lines or perks included are simply our way of saying thanks.
How do Club 1888 lotto lines work alongside the regular lotto?
Any lotto lines included in your Club 1888 tier are our way of saying thanks for your monthly support and are entered automatically each week. If you’d ever like to play more lines, you can still do so through the standard club lotto system as normal.
Is gym access guaranteed?
Gym access is subject to availability. It’s available to committee members, coaches, teams, and Club 1888 supporters on Champion tier or above.
If one person in a home is signed up at Legend+ level, gym access can be shared with adults in that household (at the same address). For everyone’s safety and insurance, gym use also requires football club registration and completion of an induction. Gym access is subject to capacity limits and booking systems set by the club.
How do the vouchers work?
Vouchers can be used at the bar/coffee dock during opening hours, in £5 denominations. Just a small note: no change can be given.
Are perks/rewards guaranteed?
Perks are subject to availability and club terms — but the support you’re giving always goes straight back into the club, and we’re very grateful for it.
How does merchandise work?
Club merchandise included with certain tiers is subject to seasonal availability and stock levels. Styles and sizes may vary from time to time, but we’ll always aim to provide a quality item as a thank-you for your support.
