Teamers
Teamer.net, the service we use to contact players about team events is now only allowing each team to have 200 free texts per month. It is vital when you receive a teamer that you respond straight away so as it does not cost your manager money. Also if you have given your email address the teamer notification will automatically go to your email because it is still free so please check your emails as well.  We ask all our members for their cooperation in this so as to keep our running costs down.

Membership Forms
Membership forms and Code of Conduct forms for most age groups have been given out 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.

Walk a Mile, Share a Smile
We’re nearing the €1,000 mark, raised for the juvenile club, but we need one last push over the next week or so. It’s finishing Monday week (23rd April), so this week we’re calling on everyone to keeping the efforts going for one more week, so we hope to see you all out walking.
