This coming weekend, from Friday 4th to Monday 7th June, will see the Angela Burns Memorial taking place virtually.
With COVID-19 putting a spanner in the works, many similar events this year have gone virtual, so keeping this tradition tipping away, we are asking all people from inside and outside of the club to get involved and participate in a run, walk, jog, cycle of any route and distance of their choice.
This year, proceeds will go to the local Ferrybank St. Vincent de Paul, who have been badly hit for funds over the last 12 months and we are delighted to contribute to such a worthy cause. People can donate whatever they like, by either registering online at totaltiming.ie, where those who do register will be in with the chance to win some spot prizes, or, by dropping it into the Ferrybank Parish Office c/o Angela S.V.P.
Therefore, we are appealing to the Ferrybank diaspora around the country, and indeed worldwide, to take part by registering for the occasion, and send in their photos to ferrybankgaa@gmail.com. Also, people here taking part can send in their pictures as well over the dates in question. Keep an eye on www.facebook.com/AngelaBurnsMemorial10k for further information.

WELL!KIDS PROGRAMME:
Last Saturday morning, over 70 children participated in the Well!Kids programme that has been organised by Waterford GAA for boys and girls aged between 4 and 6.
It was a fun filled morning with the children taking part in various sports programmes, enjoying the skills involved. It's a six week initiative that commences at 10 am, and it’s free to attend, with every child most welcome to come along and enjoy the activities.
At the end of the six weeks, there will be a 'Well!Kids' Jersey (Green) available to purchase at a reduced rate of €12. Anyone wishing to buy one, can you please submit your order by next Saturday morning, as they take roughly four weeks to order. The sizes available are for 5/6 yrs old or 7/8. Anyone that needs further information, please contact Aine Morrissey 087 292 6861.
A special words of thanks to all the helpers, volunteers, organisers who ensured that the morning passed off with great success.
