In other Healthy Club news the GAA has received a communication from Sport Ireland who, in consultation with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht and Sport, have requested the postponement of the Ireland Lights Up walking initiative until the start of February (dependant on the Government guidelines at that time). This late change of position was prompted by the continued escalation of the pandemic here in Ireland, Mount Sion will be taking part when it finally does get the go ahead.

Stay Safe

With the rising number of Covid cases in Waterford we remind our members that under the Level 5 restrictions there are no club activities allowed, please see the page on the GAA website GAA Covid restrictions, if anyone needs assistance with grocery shopping, deliveries etc, please feel free to contact us through any club member or through social media.

Membership

This year membership is more important than ever with limited revenue streams coming into the club and we would ask all our members to pay as promptly as possible, for any enquiries please contact our registrar Paul Galgey.

Development

We would ask as many members as possible to join the Development Donation scheme, at this current time our only revenue is this scheme and membership. Anyone wishing to pay membership or join the Donation Scheme please contact Peter Walsh.
