Dear all,
Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
Recent
years have seen rapid growth in the number of new clubs in Europe, and
consequently an increase in the number of games being played each year.
2014 alone saw more
60 tournaments and a staggering 1,000+ games played across Europe.
2015 will likely see these numbers increase and so this places pressure
on our existing refereeing resources. To cope with increased number of
games being played,
new referees are urgently needed!
European
referees are fully trained and certified to GAA, LGFA and Camogie
Association standards. Once qualified, referees are invited to express
interest in officiating at tournaments
in both their own regions, and across Europe, and participate in 3-4
tournaments per year. For each tournament, reasonable (vouched) travel
costs (up to EUR 200) are refunded, and up to two night’s accommodation
(in 3/4 star hotel) and all meals are provided
by the host club as well as transfers to/from airports/train stations
etc.
A referee’s coaching course for
new and existing referees (who have not attended a course within the last 3 years) will be held in the
Leuven Institute for Ireland in Europe, in Leuven, Belgium on the weekend of 6-8 February. All are welcome to attend and we would particularly welcome participants from the Benelux,
Scandinavian and Central/East regions where we currently have no/few referees.
The course will begin with an informal introduction and supper on Friday evening and continue on Saturday (c.9am – 6pm) and on Sunday (from c. 9am to 1pm). Depending on the number
of participants, the course may begin on the Friday evening, to accommodate for an earlier departure on the Sunday.
Accommodation (bed & breakfast on a sharing basis) and meals (coffees, Friday evening, Saturday lunch/dinner) will be provided by the European County Board. Reasonable travel
expenses (refunded after a referee has officiated at two tournaments) will also be covered by the Board.
I would be grateful if you could circulate this email amongst your club members and would encourage attendance at this course.
If you are interested in becoming a referee/refresher training, I would be grateful if you could
contact me as soon as possible, and in any case, before COB Wednesday, 21 January. Places on this course will be limited and so I encourage you to register your interest asap.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require additional information.
Kind regards,
Marie-Thérèse

Hurling & Camogie Championship 2015 - declarations of interest
Hello all
After a very beneficial convention last week in Belgium , we look forward with renewed interest to our championship in both codes for 2015.
In order to aid with planning and resources and to accomodate teams in terms of preparation etc and to get a headstart on fixing dates for the 2015 ECB calendar,I would be grateful if you would signal your intention or otherwise to host a round of the 2015 championship.
Established clubs are most welcome to submit their interest and some already have done so.However, we have also received interest from developing clubs which participated in last years championship ( Viking Gaels / Dresden ) so if you would formally declare your interest in reply to this mail , it would be great.
And if you could formally declare your interest as soon as you can in December , it would be great.
We will have an additional round this year alongside the normal 4 round championship and this round will be in the format of an interprovincial / developmental 7's competition structure in the hope to foster new and developing clubs and players to participate.The same format applies to camogie so please engage your club members to get involved in next year s championship.I will be sending more information about this additional round in the near future.A mail has gone out to all European clubs ( and football clubs ) yesterday to actively encourage players to get involved and to renew interest in hurling and camogie.....
looking forward to hearing from you all soon
