Gothenburg GAA Newsletter February 2012

Hello all

Just a quick mail to tell you all about current events in Gothenburg GAA circles

Training

Training continues with the Berserkers in Valhalla every Wednesday from 6pm.See Gothenburg GAA Facebook page for dates.We really need to start picking up the attendance at training.Next session is Wednesday 22 nd at 6pm and there is also a session booked for March 2 at 7pm in Valhamra Stativshall.Please try and attend so Kevin can do some proper drills and routines.

Outdoor interval training in Skattas / Slottskogen will commence in the first week of March.Keep an eye out for details -.

Scandinavian Championship

After tonights conference call, the provisional dates for the Scandinavian championship are as follows ;

May 12th or May 19th - Stockholm ( 90% sure it will be May 12th )

June 30th - Oslo

August 18th - Malmo

These dates are more or less confirmed.So we need to start getting ourselves sorted.As these are all venues manageable by car,perhaps for the first trip to Stockholm we could go by train to ease the burden on driving.If we book our tickets well in advance , they would be fairly cheap.

Also, there will be a fully fledged Ladies Championship this year.This was confirmed on the call tonight.There will be teams from Copenhagen and Stockholm and Estonia and hopefully a Malmo/Gothenburg team.Malmo are getting their numbers together so its up to us as well.

Another date to keep in mind is September 15th.This is the date for the Pan Euro in Copenhagen which we hope to attend.More discussions later.

Viking Gaels

It seems like the cross Nordic hurling team , the Viking Gaels are going to try and attend a tournament in Europe this year.It would be nice for the hurlers amongst us to give it a lash this year.Anybody seriously interested in going or wanting to start hurling this year,let me know.a few people have expressed interest already and the dates are below.

April 21st - Den Haag
May 12th - Zurich
June 9th - Luxembourg
July 14th - Thurles

June 9th might be the best date to go for.

might be another way of getting the natives involved as well... anyone fancy doing up a new poster ...?

Irish Afterwork March 16th

We have secured the venue of the Portugese Society in Ekeatregatan for March 16th.We now need to get cracking on organising the night as discussed at the AGM so it can be a great success for the club.Task lists includes

• advertising the night
• printing of tickets ( only way we'll guarantee revenue )
• music and entertainment and food
• spot prizes for the night,

other tasks will be sent out on mail shortly by the committee.it should be a cracking night if we put the hard work in before hand !!!

Also , there is to be an end of month afterwork this Friday 24th ,,,, Lokal is the venue from 8pm on ( or straight afterwork if you prefer ) new and old members all welcome !!!
