Club Membership 2019 – Registration Night – Thursday, February 21st
Club membership for the 2019 season is now due. The Club will be hosting a Registration Night, this Thursday, February 21st. Bord na nOg registration will be 7pm – 8pm, while adults will register between 8pm – 9pm. Rates for the upcoming season are as follows: Adult €50, Under-18 €20 and a family rate of €70. The rate for non-playing adult members will remain at €30. This represents good value in comparison to membership costs in other clubs across the county. All players must pay their membership prior to taking part in any games or training. This will be strictly enforced this year so make sure you contact Philip O'Donnell, who is the club registrar again for 2019, before training commences. We are taking this matter very serious this year and you simply won’t play if you haven’t paid, players are also going to ensure that their fellow players have paid so no excuses.
Gaeltacht Scholarships
The closing date for applications for the Gaeltacht Scholarships is Thursday, February 21st at 6pm. If you would like to apply please contact Shivaun O’Connor immediately.
Dog Fouling – The Bog Garden
Please note that dogs are not permitted in The Bog Garden. This is leading to a major dog fouling issue on both the pitch and surrounding facilities, which presents a major Public Health issue for our players, supporters and volunteers. We are monitoring the issue closely, and any person(s) found with their dog(s) in The Bog Garden will be asked to leave.
