There will be great music on the night from Lebowski (Formally Cassidy)!! Followed by DJ till late. Tickets are limited so get yours early to avoid disappointment!! Tickets €5 each and are on sale from either Tina Gleeson or from behind the bar.

Looking to get your child involved in sport or meet new friends. Then bring them along to the correct age group or contact Juvenile Chairman Peter Walsh for more information. Training is 100% free and hurleys and helmets can be supplied to those who need them. Best of luck to all the children and coaches for 2012!!

The GYM

Over the last number of months the club has built a gym through many of our club members giving up their free time and expertise. The gym is open to all members and keys are to be signed in and out from the Bar. It is suggested that you would leave a donation in the donation’s box behind the bar when you use the gym. All money received will be used to buy more equipment for the gym.

The club would like to thank all the volunteers who gave up their free time in the construction of the gym and the benefits that it will bring to the club will hopefully be seen in seasons to come.

Membership is now due for 2012. The following are the rates for this year. Family €50, Adult Hurling & Football Member €50, Student €30 and Social Members €15. Please either see our Registrar Paul Fanning or leave your name and money behind the bar.
