The committee is also hoping to source a celebrity section with such items as signed jerseys or books or other memorabilia. The organisers would also like to build up an array of auction promises such as baby-sitting , car washing, ironing, guitar lessons, computer classes, aromatherapy sessions, gardening, painting and decorating, use of holiday home, Leaving Cert grinds (on 11th hour approach to English or Irish essays).
