"We will be holding a raffle and a voluntary box sale. There will be tea, coffee and other refreshments available.
It's something we're trying for the first time, and we hope to raise some money for the Cuisle Centre, it's a great cause," Mr McEvoy said.
"We're one of thirty clubs in the country, and we welcome other club members, along with people who wish to join our club too," he said.
