Gothenburg GAA Newsletter August 2011

Hello all
See below the latest news in Gothenburg GAA circles :

Stockholm tournament
The last round of the Scandinavian championship is fast approaching. On the training front, can we all make an effort to attend training next Thursday 11th August @ 19:15 in Slottskogen and see how fit we are! Logistics wise, the following people have confirmed they are going (i.e. travelling up with arranged transport and staying at the hostel):
Declan/Billy/Eoin/Adrian/Stephen/Greg/Daniel/Jakey/Catherine/Jessica.

Kevin is travelling up and down same day by train. David and Brendan have their own transport and accomodation organised. That means we have 10 male players and 2 female players (Jakey, you're not playing no matter how much you plead!). Also,we will only have 9 people travelling back as Catherine is staying in Stockholm. Therefore, I need to know people's opinions about hiring a minibus, is it worth it or will we just take 3 cars?

If people have made alternative travel plans, let me know immediately as i need to book the 9 seater by latest Thursday or otherwise. The cost as stated earlier will be 500 sek for the 2 nights accomodation and 300 sek for tournament fee etc. The matches are taking place in Arsta.

For the tournament itself, there will actually be teams from Helsinki and Tailinn there. They will not be in our championship but are just playing some games to get introduced. All of this information is on the Stockholm GAA facebook invitation so have a look etc.

By the way, can someone print out driving instructions to the pitch and pitch to hostel and hostel to venue etc. (3 copies of each).

Gothenburg GAA Golf Classic
As a fundraiser, we have gotten in conjunction with Lerjedalens GK in Gunnilse , a date to hold a GAA golf fundraising event in either of the last 2 weekends of September. It will more than likely be on a Sunday. We have gotten 6 tee times which means we need 24 people or more to attend. Please let me know if you or someone you know who golfs would like to attend. Green fee and meal will be around 400 sek but i cant finalise final cost unless we know how many people will attend. Let 's get cracking!!!! Indeed, even if you dont golf, you can attend on the day and have a bit of fun.... Facebook invitation will be going up shortly!!
