WHEN Killarney Credit Union launched its “Your Club, Your Credit Union" competition it drew huge interest as new credit union members were swift to respond to its call to nominate a club of their choice. And Glenflesk GAA Club took a bow as first prize winner as it received €1,000 from Killarney Credit Union chairman Pat Delaney on Friday, with Firies GAA Club being presented with second prize of €250.

Explaining the competition, Helen Courtney Power, Killarney Credit Union's business development officer, said: “When a new member joins the credit union, they can nominate a club of their choice. The nominations for clubs are collated and the largest nominations received wins the first prize.”

The competition is open to all types of sports clubs – for instance, football, hurling, rugby, tennis, basketball and cycling. Membership of the credit union is open to all those living and working in the common bond of Killarney Credit Union. This includes Killarney and Kenmare town, the townlands of Fossa, Kilcummin, Glenflesk, Kilgarvan, Sneem, Kileentierna, Tuosist, Sneem and Firies.

Credit Union membership is open to all ages from newborn to pensioners. You will need to provide two forms of identification to join, generally photo and address identification. Further details on membership are included on www.killarneycu.ie.
