Membership Forms
Membership forms and Code of Conduct forms for
most age groups are been given out during the week. Coaches are asked for their
assistance in getting this done in an orderly and efficient manner and
parents/guardians and players are asked to sign, complete and return as soon as
possible.
Many thanks to all of those who have already
completed and returned their forms, your prompt co-operation is much
appreciated.
New Members Welcome!
If anyone is
interested in having their child join our club, we would invite them to come
out to the pitch and speak with the coaches who will be happy to answer any
questions you might have.
We would also
encourage any of our existing young members to bring a friend with them to
their next training session and they can see at first hand what our club can
offer them.
Walk a Mile, Share a Smile Update
Just
to remind everyone that we are still walking every Monday evening at 6.30pm.
Participants fill in an envelope at Centra and show whether they wish to
contribute to the Juvenile GAA or SERT. The fee is €1 per mile and the walk is
from Centra, out the New Line, down by St. Augustine’s College in Ducks Pool
and in the Burgery and back to Centra, which is just about 2 miles, so the cost
per walk would be €2.
The
organised walk takes place each Monday at 6.30pm but people can walk anytime
they wish. We will keep a record of the people walking and a chart will be
available after a few weeks. That’s the reason for writing your name on the
envelope.
So far, over €700 has been collected for our club, well done and
thanks to all..... and keep on walking!
