FYI ...

 

No swearing on the radio  next week !!

A chairde,

I'd like to thank the Tallinn and Helsinki clubs for a brilliant day last Saturday - their appearance on the seen has been a fantastic boost for us all. Tallinn organised a great event and Helsinki played some good football- the future bodes well for the region.

I recently got the good news that RTE have commissioned a radio documentary about us here in Scandinavia - they're sending a producer (Pat O'Mahony) to join us in Stockholm next week, where he'll then take part in the minibus drive down and attend the Malmö tournament on the Saturday. 

On the day he'll be recording short interviews with players, partners and friends alike, as well as capturing the atmosphere of the biggest tournament of the year. It's a great opportunity for us to keep European GAA on the agenda back home and to continue the work that our region has been doing in terms of lifting the profile of the games abroad. 

Pat will be in touch with you all soon to introduce himself - I've worked with him before and he is both a consummate professional and a very decent fella (for a Kildare man)...

Looking forward to seeing you all at the final tournament of the season next week!

Best Regards,

Info part 3:Food Options

Let Billy know in relation to the following as soon as possible:

Hi all,
Preparations are in full swing and we're really hoping to make this a very enjoyable weekend for everyone.
A couple of things........
As its Malmo Festival, our sponsors Fagans will be quite hectic that day so they have asked us get numbers for food so they can plan the kitchen that day. We would be very grateful if you could contact your members about the food options and then let us know.
There are 3 food options
a) Beef Burger
b) Vegetarian Burger
c) Steak
All are accompanied by salad & house fries.
We have tried to keep costs to a minimum so it would not affect the fee for you for the day. We have managed to keep the day fee at 250 SEK but for those ordering steak we've been forced to add 25 SEK due to the extra cost of that dish.

Malmö Info part 2:Numbers & Travel

Numbers can finally be confirmed for Malmö:
Male Players: Niall/Eoin/Stephen/Tom/Mal/

Adrian/Daniel/Billy/Paul/Moses/David
Female Players: Mia/Therese/Stina/Maria/Malin/Jessica/Madeline/Josefin
Management - Dec/Jakey/Kevin

As per agreement, we will travel down on Friday night. We will leave from Heden Katolska Kyrkan/opposite the Jet Station and beside the Ullevi Tennis Klub.
Same place as last time at 6.30 sharp. As it stands, we will be driving down by car (Billy & Jakey & Moses car / Paul is trying to get a minibus from Volvo).

Malmö Info part 1:Cost Breakdown

1. Reg fee for tournament - 250 sek (this includes lunch/water/evening meal).All dietary requirements have been passed onto Malmo GAA.
2. Hostel --- Just a quick note to update all on everything.
Please see below revised cost of accomodation .. theres very little difference.! I suggest the snorers take the double room ( not pointing at anyone Niall and Jakey )!!!!
One double room 2 nights 1000 sek ( 250sek/ person/night)
3-bedroom 2 nights 1260 sek ( 210/p/n)
Two 4-bedrooms 2 nights 3360 sek (210/p/n)
One 6-bedroom 2 nights 2520 sek ( 210/p/n)
Theres a bed free on the Friday night as tom is now travelling Saturday morning ....
Also, Maria is travelling but not playing.She hurt herself water skiing!! Aaagh Maria
3. Petrol ... for those travelling in the cars , a donation towards petrol costs would be gratefull accepted .. maybe 70 sek each would be grand.

All in all the cost per person attending the tournament who are travelling and staying for the whole event will be approximately 700 -750 sek per person. I know this is an outlay but as always we need funds to survive and that means bigger and better fundraising ideas. Gothenburg GAA will do their best to subsidise travel or something on the trip but it will not amount to much. Also I really appreciate the effort people put in and their efforts to attend. It really is what the club is all about!!

Hi all,

 

We have already received feedback from some of the clubs. We know that you most of the clubs can´t get the full men/ladies team travelling to Tallinn due to all the other great tournaments in Europe. But our intentions is to get at least 3 ladies and 3 men teams together. All the games will be if possible  9 a side. So even if you can´t get full team coming then we are waiting individual players so that we could have mixed team. 

 

Please let us know ASAP how many players are coming from your club. 

So far we know that from

Helsinki 10 men

Stockholm 2-3 men + 9 ladies

Gothenburg 2-3 men +1 lady

Malmö 0 players

Copenhagen 0 players

 

Regarding accommodation we have special offer from Swissotel (please find attached). If you want cheaper options then hopefully you will find something from the following list.

European Football Team in All-Ireland 7's

Hello men,
please see below mail inviting players to represent European GAA at St.Jude's Junior All -ireland 7's. As I represented Gothenburg GAA last year, I can honestly say its a cracking weekend. Basically it would be no more than 2 from each club in Europe but its from both championship and shield sides.

The story goes (and I can't see it changing this year) is that flights and accomodation is paid for. You flind the flight yourself, pay for it and the amount is refunded to you before you go. The accomoodation is paid for by Euro GAA and its decent four-star accomodation sharing doube room with other Euro GAA team members.

So, who would be up for it? Let me know if you are interested. As for as I know,  it's All-Ireland weekend as well and I didn't know until I left that you also get an ALL-Ireland ticket thrown in if you stay around for the weekend.

All the best,
Billy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Clubs,
as per recent years the ECB will be entering a European 7's Football team to play in the All-Ireland Junior 7's in St Judes Dublin on Saturday 22nd September.  Any player interested in playing in the team should make contact with myself by Tuesday 31st July as planning is underway for this event.
Can you please communicate to your members who may be interested.  

Yours sincerely

Shay O'Doherty

Football Officer ECB.
