KILLYGARRY GAA SOCIAL INITIATIVE PRESENTS VICTORS DUNG

The highly acclaimed drama “Victors Dung” comes to Killygarry Community Centre on Sunday 18^th March. By all reports this is a very entertaining play, staged by Moth Productions, and written, directed by and starring former Leitrim County Footballer Seamus O’Rourke. There is an excellent piece on the play and the GAA Social Initiative in this week’s Anglo Celt on the Arts & Entertainment page.

If you wish to book tickets please contact any member of Killygarry’s GAA Social Initiative team, Paddy Sheanon, Claire Coyle, Tom Maguire, Leo Flood or Mattie Brady.

Tickets are €10 and show commences at 8pm. Everyone welcome!

KILLYGARRY ANNUAL VARIETY CONCERT

Killygarry’s Annual Variety Concert will take place on Friday March 23^rd at 8p.m. in Killygarry Community Centre. Paddy Sheanon will be M.C. on the night and the concert promises a host of top quality local artists.

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!

IRISH INDEPENDENT GIVEAWAY

The club are collecting “Go Play Today” tokens from the Irish Independent and Sunday Independent newspapers. The competition runs from Sunday 26th February until Saturday 7th April. Bonus tokens are available on Sundays and Thursdays (bonus token counts as 2). The competition runs on a first come, first serve basis so the quicker we can collect the tokens, the more chance we have of winning a kit.
