HIRE OF TRAINING FACILITIES
Note for parents of players: As you will probably be aware the club is finding it difficult at the moment to come up with regular training slots for all the various teams in the club. Apart from the on-going re-development work on the main pitch, our back pitch has been unplayable for the most part so far this year due to the poor weather conditions.
The poor weather has also resulted in many other clubs seeking to use alternative venues such as the 3G and this is further limiting our options. It is important therefore that parents take proper note of text messages that the club circulate as training times/venues may change from week to week or at short notice.
The hire of facilities also places an additional cost burden on the club. At this years AGM it was agreed that a fee of €2 would apply to all training sessions hosted away from our grounds to offset the cost of hiring these facilities. While this is voluntary we would ask parents to co-operate with this temporary measure.
The club acknowledge the inconvenience for everyone at present and thank you for your co-operation until we get these projects completed.
SECURITY AT CLUB GROUNDS
It is important for obvious reasons that the barrier is locked at all times when the ground is unattended. If you notice the barrier open or you cannot lock it please contact Kevin (087 2120111) or Paul (086 8363798). Do not drive off and leave it open!
