Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night

David Power was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 25, which when
turned was not the Joker though he did win €50. Noah Landers and Marian and
Anthony won €25 each. As well as our group of ticket sellers tickets can be
purchased from Convenience Store Ballinroad, Village Flowers, Spar, Mousies
Takeaway, Minnies Bar and Crotty’s Corner Bar.

Under 21 Football
This Thursday night we play The Nire in the Western Semi Final in
Dungarvan Club Grounds at 7:30 pm.
Senior Hurling
This Friday night we play Dungarvan in round one of the Sargent Cup in
Fraher Field at 8pm. The game is being staged in Fraher Field as a fundraiser
for Sesame Special Needs Preschool, so we ask as many supporters as possible to
come along on the night and support this very worthy cause. Admission on the
night is €5
Sesame
Special Needs Preschool has been running in Dungarvan for the past 30 years. The main function of Sesame is
to provide an early intervention service for Children with additional
needs. Children attend Sesame from Co.
Waterford.
In Sesame we provide a positive and safe
learning environment for Children. We are funded by the HSE Disability
Service. At present 20 Children attend
Sesame on a weekly basis. Applications
are accepted through the HSE West Waterford Early Intervention team (WWEI).
Children can access the service on reaching 2 years of age. Sesame is supported by the HSE Early
Intervention Team and Children access therapies such as occupational therapy,
speech & language, psychology and physio as needed in the service.
As a team we carry reflective practice through
observations, assessments, reports, team meetings and family interventions.
Throughout the day we provide opportunities for choice, turn taking, creative
imagination and individualism.
In July 2014 Sesame moved to its new premises
at White Strand, Abbeyside. This move
has afforded the service the opportunity to grow and has seen the service
increase to a greater number of families. We are looking to fund raise for an
outdoor specialised playground and we cannot emphasise the benefits of outdoor
play for children with additional needs.
Playing outside, whether it’s
directed play or independent play, offers significant physical and social benefits to children with special needs..
Regular outdoor play helps children to improve body awareness, motor skills,
and balance. This outdoor playground would be a very valuable resource to
our children.
Contact details for Sesame are sesamepreschool@cablesurf.com
and 058-40001.
The Management, Staff and Families of Sesame
would like to take this opportunity to thank Dungarvan GAA Club and
Abbeyside/Ballinacourty GAA Club and their Senior Hurling Teams &
supporters for suggesting this charity event on our behalf.
Wedding Bells
On behalf of all in the club we would like to congratulate Eoin Enright
and Sarah O’Brien who were married last Friday. We wish them every happiness in
their lives together. We would also like to congratulate Gary Hurney and Tammy
Hehir on their engagement last weekend.
Membership
We would like to remind intending members and especially players that
membership fees are now due and can be paid to Kevin Tobin or any team manager.
We would ask players to make a special effort to pay their membership before
returning to training to ensure they are covered by insurance. We remind all
those intending to join that March 31st is the closing date to pay.
Booking of Pitches
As teams start back training over the next few weeks we remind all team
managers that they must book the pitches/astro turf with Michael O’Donovan
prior to training and also managers are asked to remember that the main pitch
remains closed until further notice.
Club Bingo
Our club bingo will continue this Sunday night in the the CBS Hall with
a jackpot of €1150.
