Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

St Patrick’s Day Parade

As usual the club will be taking part in the St Patrick’s Day parade in Waterford this year with our young players proudly marching and wearing their colours for the day that’s in it, texts will be sent out regarding drop off and pick up points from the team mentors in the coming days.

Know Your Sport

Think you know your sport? Then put your knowledge to the test with Mount Sion’s great new sports predictor league which will run over the course of the summer, take 20 sports events and pick your best bet, points are awarded for a winning pick and a league table kept. You can pick from the four options given on the entry form or choose to select ‘ anyone else ‘ meaning you get the rest of the field, entry is €10 with a top prize of €500 plus the title of the club’s top punter! Closing date is March 25th , any enquiries can be made to Club Fundraising Officer Kenny Stafford.

Deise Draw

The launch for the 2017 Deise draw takes place on Wednesday 8th March, although the first draw isn’t until May people can start paying in now, there is a new format for 2017 with 6 draws in total, tickets cost €15 with the 1st prize increasing from €10,000 to €12,500 , there will also be increases on the other prizes, with the club getting 70% of the ticket price this is a major fundraiser and we would encourage as many members as possible to buy tickets, for any enquiries please contact Kenny Stafford.

Membership
