Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Club Gym

Our club gym refurbishment has now been completed and is back open. A big thank you to all our club sponsors especially all who contributed to our big fundraiser last year “The 20k drop” as without their help this wouldn’t have taken place. Huge credit must go out to our new Development committee of Kenny Stafford, Damien Frisby and Ian O’Regan who were the driving forces behind this project, special mention and thanks also to John Kennedy & Anthony Ches Power for their help with the building work and also to Michael Flanagan, Pamela Stafford & Michelle Murtagh who sorted the painting. The gym is open to all fully paid up members and for traceability purposes a fob access will be in place and fobs can be purchased from the development committee at a nominal rate, while the gym is open to all members our teams will have priority in using the premises for training purposes.
