JUVENILE NURSERY:
This coming Saturday, March 5th, from 10am-11am
sees the launch of the nursery for boys and girls aged between 5 and 6yrs old.
The club nursery programme teaches children the basic movements and skills
required to play Gaelic Games. This includes agility, balance, co-ordination,
running, jumping, catching, throwing, kicking and striking. This is a great way
to introduce new players and parents to the club. All equipment hurleys &
helmets will be supplied. So we look forward to seen all the kids on Saturday
morning.
MEMBERSHIP:
2016 club membership is now due. Adult membership is €70, or €120 if you want to include a Déise Draw subscription. Student/Unwaged €30. Juvenile membership is €20, with €10 for any additional sibling.
CLOTHING COLLECTION:
It’s that time of the year again, where I’m sure your house
could do with a spring clean. So if you have any unwanted clothes, paired
shoes, belts, handbags, curtains, towels, soft toys etc., or any old mobile
phones or laptops (please keep mobile phones and laptops separate from clothing
items), you can drop them down to the GAA grounds on Saturday mornings from
10am to 2pm. The closing date will be Saturday April 2nd.
UNDER 8 HURLING:
Training for the Under 8s is on every Saturday morning at
11:15am in the All-Weather Hurling Alley, and everyone is most welcome to come
all.
