Membership
With a number of football Championships due to get
underway in the next number of weeks we would ask that all players and indeed
non players make a special effort to pay their membership to our Membership
Officer Kevin Tobin as soon as possible.
Club Facilities
Over the past number of years we have carried out some
extensive work to our club facilities to enable our own Club Members to avail
of the best of facilities which we can provide. We have been able to carry out
this work thanks to the generous support of many of our loyal members and
supporters. We emphasise that these facilities are for the use of our own paid
up members and we will not tolerate any kind of intimidation of our members by
any “guests” or “visitors” to our club grounds in the future. To date a number
of County and indeed other Club teams have availed of our facilities and these
teams are all most welcome to use them provided they are booked accordingly
through Michael O’Donovan, but we once again stress that individuals are
neither allowed or welcome to simply enter our club grounds and prevent our own
members from using these facilities and if such behavior continues we will take
these matters further.
Fundraising Cycle
One of our most loyal and
dedicated Club Members Liam O’Connor is calling on all Abbeyside/Ballinacourty
members, players, supporters, friends and cycling enthusiasts to support a
Fundraising Cycle which he is organising on Saturday August 2nd. Liam
is organising the cycle from Limerick to Abbeyside to raise much need funds
towards the running and further development of the club. As you all know the
club has had huge success on the playing fields last year and all our club
teams and ladies represented the club with great pride throughout the year. The club would not be able to run as smoothly
as it currently does without the huge volume of volunteers who give so much of
their time to coaching teams, by working on committees and doing countless
tasks in fundraising and all other events run by the club. The facilities in
our club have been brought to a new level in recent years thanks to the generosity
of all in our Parish who give very generously when club people come calling at
their homes, work places, shops and businesses to raise funds to help pay for
projects such as the refurbishment of
the dressing rooms, installing state of the art floodlights and generator
to run lights, the erection of a state of the art ball alley to improve
hurling skills and the purchase of almost 8 acres and the developing of the
third pitch which will cater for the needs of the club teams for many years to
come. We would like to thank all those
people who have dug deep into their pockets to allow the club to be able to
provide all these amenities. Liam is calling on any who would like to join him
on the cycle to let him know in the next few weeks. The cycle will cater for all levels of cyclists
and will involve a trip of around 85 to 90 miles. Please contact Liam, Michael,
Benny or Beanie to let them know of your interest and meetings will be
organised to let people know of what it takes to be a part of a huge fun
cycle. Liam can be contacted at
0851191908 or liam.oconnor@augh.com, Michael can be reached at michealcosgrave@hotmail.com or 0877682068, Benny can be contacted at benny.i.flynn@gsk.com or 087-9352716 while Beanie can be reached at liambyrnebeanie@yahoo.com. or 087-6436046.
County Board Quiz
This Thursday night, March 6th Alice
O’Connors will be the venue for our Club members who wish to take part in the
County Board Radio Quiz with proceedings getting under way at 8pm.
GAA National Draw
This year for the GAA are staging a National Draw with
some truly fantastic prizes on offer. The prize fund is being fully paid for by
Croke Park meaning that 100% of the money the club makes from the draw will be
kept by the club. Tickets cost €10 each and are currently available to purchase
from any member of the Club Committee or the Juvenile Committee.
Booking of Pitches
All team managers are reminded to please ensure that
they have booked the pitch for training or matches with Michael O’Donovan. We
would also ask tem managers to please try and do as much heavy training in the
areas behind the goals.
