Juvenile Nursery:
The Ferrybank GAA & Camogie club will commence the nursery for boys
and girls, aged 5 and 6, on Saturday March 5th in the local GAA
grounds at 10am. The Club Nursery Programme teaches children the basic
movements and skills required to play Gaelic games. These include agility,
balance, co-ordination, running, jumping, throwing, catching, kicking and
striking.
The Club Nursery targets 5-6 year olds and is a great way to introduce
new children and parents to the club. All equipment (hurleys, helmets etc.)
will be supplied. For further information, contact 087 6724212.
We achieved Level 1 last year and we are hoping to complete Level 3 next
year. The targets get higher each year, and we will need every help we can get
to achieve our goal. ALL NEWCOMERS
WELCOME!
CLOTHES BANK:
Have you a wardrobe of unwanted clothes, or some mobile phones lying
around the house? If so, then why not get going on a spring clean and help out
Ferrybank GAA club at the same time!? You can drop these items into Ferrybank
GAA grounds on Saturday April 2nd from 10am-1:30pm.
Any clothes, paired shoes, belts, handbags, curtains, towels and soft
toys can be donated. Mobile phones to be kept separate please. Alternatively,
