Gothenburg GAA Newsletter November 2010

Hello all
Just a quick update on current GAA happenings and other stuff :

Training
Guys and gals - I know it is cold but training continues in Slottskogen every Tuesday evening with Caz. Meeting at car park at 6:15 p.m.. There are a few things are in the pipelines for training in January and February: a boot camp weekend to build up our fitness. We will resume our timed runs like last year when we resume training in Skatas in the New Year.

Euro GAA Convention
The Euro GAA convention is on in Stockholm on Dec 4th. Before that there will be a conference call with all the Nordic clubs to see what agenda items can be put forward which are in the best interests of Scandinavian GAA. Likewise, it would be great if we had Gothenburg GAA represented at the conference. I need to submit names by next Wed as to who or how many are going (its usually 2 per club). Let me know if you 'd like to go. If you feel like adding an agenda item, please feel free

GAA Christmas night out
Its that time of year again. Our annual Christmas night out. There was not much of a turn out for the last one so lets have a bit of a hooly for this one. The suggested dates are Dec 3rd or 4th or Dec 17/18. Dec 10th/11th seem to be a no-go for some people. Let us know what dates suit and we'll go with the one that suits best .

New members
Gotheburg GAA would like to welcome new member Colm Keller to the Club. A native of Westport, Mayo. Colm has played inter-county hurling for Mayo so will be a great addition to the proposed Viking Gaels panel for next year as well as the football panel. Welcome, big man!

Irish Society
We are still looking for a venue for the Irish Society but in the meantime, we should appoint an Irish society committee and see will how we propose to get things off the ground. We have musicians, we have the GAA and we have Paddy's Day next year. Wouldn't that be a great day to launch the society. Lets see if its something we can work on, get our heads together and see what we can come up with - any dates for a planned meeting? Lets have something before we all break for the Christmas.
