1st Indoor session
Friday @ 20:00 until 21:30
Vallhamra ishall, Vallhamrav, 433 64 Sävedalen
Our first informal winter training session for the year has been booked. It's on Friday Dec 7th 20:00 to 21.30 at Valhamra Stativshall (same as last year). Just an easy session to blow off the cobwebs!!!!
For those of you going to training here are some directions.
The hall is near the Vallhamra ishall (Vallhamra ishall, Vallhamrav, 433 64 Sävedalen). Hopefully the below link will work... In the map picture it is the building/hall with the red'ish roof alongside the running track.
The nearest buss stop is Bockemossen - bus routes 512 & 515 from the center of Göteborg stop there. I will leave it to yourselves to find/get time tables from the http://www.vasttrafik.se/ website.

Dubai Duty Free Gulf Gaelic Games, March 22nd 2013
Dear All
Kind Regards,
Paddy
GGG 13 Invitation
GGG 2013 Flyer
Apologies
for the group email, but I would like to formally extend an invitation
to you all to take part in the 2013 Dubai Duty Free Gulf Gaelic Games to
be held here in Dubai on the weekend of Friday March 22nd next. I have
attached the official invitation and flyer for the competition, and with
the strength of GAA in mainland Europe expanding every year, it would
be fantastic to have some European teams at next years event.
We
have had the pleasure of hosting teams from Ireland, UK, mainland
Europe, South Africa, India and Asia as well as the Middle East, and I
would like to add more European teams that the one we have hosted in the
past 5 years.
The main bullet points to note are as follows:
The main bullet points to note are as follows:
- The tournament will be held on Friday March 22nd in the Emirates Sevens Complex here in Dubai. The GGG has grown tremendously in past years and we had over 600 players this March. We hope this trend continues in '13. The Sevens is a world class facility, which has impressed every travelling team we have been fortunate enough to host.
- The format in all codes is 9 players a side, from a panel of 12 and the games are 7 minutes per half.
- Accommodation varies wildly in the city from 7 star luxury to much more affordable accommodation. We can cater to your every need. We have the experience now of hosting this for many years and I have an excellent team in place that will help make your stay in Dubai truly memorable. Basic accommodation can be found for as little as €30 pp sharing per night.
- Currently
flights start at approx €450 ex Sweden / Norway / Finland and ideally
you would fly on Wednesday and back the Sunday. Flights into Dubai or
Abu Dhabi will be fine as they are close to each other.
- The standard of Gaelic Games has progressed to a very competitive level, and it surprises visiting teams just how skilful, determined and tough the players here are, so you can expect a good challenge across the codes.
- This
is a unique chance to play against teams from other parts of the world
that you may never experience again. This is a huge attraction for teams
coming to Dubai, not just the great weather and craic here, but on a
GAA level, this is one competition that is unlike every other.
- We will have inter-county referee's from Ireland on duty to ensure the quality and safety of play while maximising the enjoyment for each player at all times.
Please have a look at the attached and come back to me with any queries you may have.

Gothenburg GAA Newsletter September 2012
Hello all and welcome to Gothenburg GAA newsletter for September .. here is the latest news !!
Training
Training will take place next Tuesday 4 september at Kviberg (
Pitch 17 ) .Even though the season is nearly finished and not everyone
is attending Copenhagen, we would ask everybody to attend so that a/
the people going to Copenhagen get good match practice and b / for the
fitness itself.The weather is good for next week so no excuses !!!
Training also takes place on Hisingen ( Bjurslattskolan
) as an additional session on thursday... see facebook for more
details... try and make the Tuesday one though !!
Pan-Euros Copenhagen
Information on those attending and travel details etc
will be sent on an additional mail but in short,we are sending a full
ladies team and more than likely the boys wull be combining with Oslo
for the mens competition.Quite an historic day in that for the first
time in the clubs history we will be sending two teams to a European GAA
competition.After a very successful Malmo competition, the hunger is
there now to kick on and achieve something great in Copenhagen .
Gothenburg GAA Golf Classic
On
Saturday September 8th , Gothenburg GAA is holding the 2nd edition of
the Gothenburg GAA Golf classic at Lerjedalen GK Gunnilse.This
fundraising event will hopefully raise some much needed funds for the
club.There has been a good take up so far but the more the merrier.Even
if you d'ont play golf , it would be great if you could attend later in
the day for the craic and help out the club and have some drinks at the
bar and meet members of the club.I am trying to organise music that
evening but if u are musically inclined , bring it along for a good
sing-song.The buffet dinner in the evening time will be 50 sek and i
will have further info on times etc during the week.Also, we are having a
raffle of spot prizes.We have some already but if you or your companies
could donate something small for the day, we'll promise them a link on
our webite.The proceeds of the raffle will go to Cancer Research Sweden
so all in all, a very good reason to come along.Even though the golf is
finished early afternoon,we would still like people to come along and
spend and evening with friends and foe alike.( If you are taking the bus
, the nearest bus stop is Angereds Kyrka.You can get the 521 mot
Stenared from Polhelmplatsen or the Orange express mot Gråbo from
Centralstationen.)
Fundraising and Sponsorship
There
has been some great work in the last few weeks with this.Mia has worked
so hard and procured some sponsorship with a / the Lokal Bar and
restaurang and b / her father 's company.Therese Nordberg has also
procured sponsorship from her contact company .All of these monies are
going towards the buying of the ladies new kit ( which is richly
deserved.) There is hopefully an express order winging its way to the
Irish company next week so that the ladies will have their new kit for
Copenhagen( fingers crossed )
In other areas, I have been in negotiations with North
and South pub and restaurant on Viktoriagatan about possible future
sponsorship and having a fundraising quiz night over the winter.I hope
to have some news in the next few weeks but the quiz is a definite goer
with the possibility that we may take a percentage of the takings that
night.Details still have to be ironed out.

The draws for Saturday
Hey all
Some comments
- We will have to leave at 5.30 am sharp nowfrom outside the Dubliners .First match for the Gothenburg ladies is 9am and its a 3hr plus drive.The ladies will have to go straight to the dressing rooms and change and then Kevin or myself will take you for a warm up. .( Mia & Stina... make sure you get there in time !).Ridiculous time to start.I will try and see can we get our start time changed but i dont think so.The schedule is as follows :
Ladies... Match1 vs Stockholm 9am
Match 2 vs Belgium 11am
Match 3 vs Holland 1pm
Mens Match 1 vs Paris / Lyon 9.40am
Match 2 vs Belgium B 11am.
For
the first match, we will have a coach/ trainer on the sideline for the
ladies and will try and do same for 2nd match even though mens and
ladies start at the same time..These things never go to plan so we may
be fine.
It says on the PDF that the changing rooms are very close to the
evening venue but the plan is ( pending our involvement in finals ) is
that once both teams are ready , we pile back into the minibus and head
straight for the hotel.The latest the men can be finshed pitchside is
5pm and for the ladies 6.30pm.Oncewe are ready at the hotel , we head
straight out to the Venue where the meal is on.I guarantee it will not
start at 7.30pm and even if it does , the queues will be long for the
food.So the plan is to stay a while and take the minibuses back into
town for whoever wants to go back in.This will save time and effort as
taxis from there will be a nightmare with people wanting to go back into
town from the meal venue.We deposit the buses either back at the hotel
or at an overnight carpark in the centre and then head into town.. We
found pictures of the venue and basically it is a local townhall with
tables and chairs with a kitchen attached.With upwards of 250 players ,
the place will be choccers.!!!!
have a look at the attached file and any questions let me know ... see ye all bright and early now !!!

Petrol and bridge costs
Cost
is 375 Sek per trip so total cost for 2 cars for trip both ways is 1500
sek.With 14/15 people travelling by car this breaks down to 100 sekper
person ( maybe 90 sek ).Petrol costs for 2 cars is maybe 120 per person
so total costs for petrol and bridge per person ----- 220 sek per
person .
tournament fee
based on previous fees, i would expect the fee to be
around 300 sek which will include evening dinner,lunch and water drinks
throughout the day,
In effect the cost break down is ( per person)
accomodation - 280 sek max
petrol and bridge - 100 sek
tournament fee ( may be actually lower but we'll take 300 sek as the normal figure ) - 300 sek
= 680 sek per person ( max )
The good news is that with the fundraising
golf event next weekend , we will be able to partially if not totally
offset one of these costs so its in your and the clubs best interests
that you help and bring along some people ( & money ) to the
fundraiser next week...!!!!
think thats it .if youve anymore questions or your
plans or changing . please text or let me know on 072 3704037.There s
nothing worse than being told at the last minute ... !!!
Thanks all and here s to a cracking weekend in Copenhagen

Copenhagen Tournament Information Pack / Gothenburg GAA Golf Classic
Hello all
Please see attached Copenhagen tournament information pack .Please review .As it says, the email for
the actual draws will follow.Hopefully , our matches ( mens and ladies )
w'ont clash so we can watch and support each other's games.We ll
discuss coaches and mentors for both on training next Tuesday.
Good idea to print out a copy and just have it with you
As
it says on the pack, the reg fee is 250 dkk.Please ensure you bring
money ( Danish ) with you to the pitch etc.There is no ATM not even
close to the pitch and the treasurer appreciates that all the money is
given in one go,,, ideally at registration time.( easier just to get it
out of the way ) .So therefore we will collect the money( Danish money
that morning either on the bus or cars or at the pitch that morning.
This is the final list of people that are playing /
attending / means of trasnsport .Im sure there will be a veg option at
the dinner as there has been no set menu sent out.I would say its buffet
with a mix of everything .
Jessica ( playing ) meal requirement forwarded to CPH / in car Saturday
Madde ( playing / in car Saturday )
Triona ( playing / in car Saturday )

Please advise me asap if you intend to stay for
dinner etc as i need to advise Copenhagen of the final numbers of
players / dinner / lunch packs etc by next Sunday 9th.
Also
based on the above numbers travelling by car Saturday ( 17 ) , we may
need an extra car now as we only have 14 places in the 2 cars currently (
9 seater and regular 5 seater ) .Stina, could you take someone Friday
if they are willing to go down or Josefin, would you be willing to drive
your car on Saturday.
Just found out today that Oslo will not be joining with
the men.They only have 3 to travel so are not coming.That means we will
be Gothenburg on our own with players from other teams.
GAA Classic
All the
players are now down for the Gothenburg GAA classic.To those who are not
playing but are members of the club , it would be great if some of you
came along after 1pm and helped with the raffle.We have a few prizes and
the golf club have other societies there as well on the day so there
should be a good crowd..Also, i know its last minute but if any one can
bring raffle prizes on the day it would be great.Its all for the club
and if no-one from the club is there,it kind of defeats the purpose.For
those of you coming , the provisional order of the day is
8am - 9am .. Tee off times (
BBQ Buffet
available in restaurant from midday on.( Cost 50 sek ) so thats a good
time to make ye re way out to the clubhouse.The golf club is busy on
saturday so make sure you get the food ....
12:30 pm to 2.30pm -- golfers will start to arrive back to clubhouse .
3pm on .. chill and chat,..
Selling of raffle tickets will be ongoing from midday on.
Golf Prize giving ceremony between 4pm and 5pm
Raffle to take place before or after prize giving ceremony.
After that, chill out relax , have a few beers and lets get our strategies set for next weekend.
The
golf restaurant is owned and run by Kevin Moorhouse, our president ,
and his wife Tina so we'll also be helping and supporting their
business.A big thanks to Tina for doing the food and helping organise
the tee off times with the golf club.
As i said,any musicians among ye , please come
out.There is a fine pool table out there so we maybe could have a pool
comp or i could even bring one of my quizzes if there is enough of a
crowd.Sure what else would you be doing on a saturday evening ?
Otherwise see ye all at training on Tuesday evening thereafter ...

joining and travelling.
Siret & Arja ( I think thats her name ) from Tailinn will also be joining Gothenburg on the day,
That makes 6 men definite players , 2 maybe 's
8 girls and 2 maybe's plus 2 from Tailinn.
As per discussions and cost considerations, its been
decided to travel down early from Gothenburg the morning of the
tournament.We will have the minibus from Volvo ( from Paul -- blame
Volvo last time) and 1 or 2 other cars if needed.
To that end , I really need to know quickly if u are travelling.I
am trying to book accomodation by Monday night and the places in the
last place where we stayed ( Danhostel city ) are going fast.Please let
me know either by text / call / email reply to this mail if you are
travelling or otherwise.( my new nr is 072 370 4037 ) .Based on numbers
above , i will book places for 16 people for the saturday night only.
As the Gothenburg men will not have a full team ,we
have asked Oslo if they would consider joining forces on the day,They
will also not have a full panel on the day and they are currently
considering the option.im sure we'll hear back soon.
Finally, there is an outside chance that
the girls will have their own kit on the day,Negotiations are going on
behind the scenes will buyer & supplier.Hopefully this will happen
but lets wait and see.
Fundraising
We have secured
tee times at Lerjedalen GK onSaturday september 8th between 9 and 11 am
for our annual Gothenburg GAA golf classic.I will be creating a
facebook event once i have confirmed cost details with the golf club but
it will be in the region of 400 sek for dinner and green fees with a
portion of fees going to the club.Please let me know if you or a golfing
friend wish to play.Due to issue from last year , the club have imposed
a no hackers policy with people at least being able to play golf only
been asked to play.( preferably with a golf ID or other foreign
membership ) .However, all are welcome on the day as we may be able to
have some music on the day and the club have a great selection of beers
on hand.More details to follow once i have numbers etc.we have 6 x 4
fourball tee times ( 24 players ) so it would be great if we could fill
those spots.
There may also be a table quiz before September 15th (
either 5th or 12 th septemer ) at North & South on Viktoriagatan
where i do the pub quiz.Details to be worked out but we may be able to
take a percentage from the bar that night.Keep watching this space
....!!!
Overall, please get back to me asap about the Copenhagen trip and the golf.Time is pressing !!!!!

3627 sek divided by 16 - 225 sek
1 nights accomodation - 225 per person
2 nights accomodation - 550 per person
if we are staying 2 nights round that up to 550 sek for 2 nights
petrol & bridge fee
based on 1 borrowed minibus and 2 cars
150 sek per person and fee of 750 sek per car ( this breaks down to 50 sek per person ) - 200 sek per person

RTE radio documentary II

Background to the RTE person who will be there in Malmo on Saturday ...
Pat O'Mahony wrote:
Hello all,Thanks Philip for the introduction.
I have indeed been fortunate enough to get funding to make an RTÉ Radio 1 documentary that will feature the final leg of the Scandinavian Championships in Malmö this weekend so look forward to meeting some/all of you there.
The documentary, A Silver Lining, will primarily be a look at how the ongoing recession in Ireland has affected the GAA abroad, as told through the eyes of the Stockholm Gaels in particular. For instance, many argue that the devastation caused at club and county level here in Ireland by emigration has actually benefitted foreign clubs so assessing this will be high on my agenda. I'll also be interested to see the role these clubs play in assimilating both new arrivals and the local native communities.
Saturday sounds like it should be a blast, whatever the outcome on the pitch.
If in the meantime any of you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.
PS. No, sadly I won't have any room for crisps, tea bags or rashers. :)
Cheers.

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 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!!

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

More Updates.
A huge congratulations to our ladies team who beat Malmo in their first
competitive game two weeks ago!! Big thanks to all the ladies and to
Declan & Daniel for helping with the organisation and being referee It is very much appreciated.
Also, well done to the four lads who competed in Oslo on the same day. We secured vital championship points which could be critical towards season end.
Last but not least, a big farewell to Catherine Hayes who returns to Ireland for 6 months on work placement. Catherine defines the spirit of the club with her drive and energy and she was hugely influential in not only recruiting members but contributed massively to our hugely successful Irish night and other fundraisers. See you soon Catherine and have a great time in Ireland !!!

Gothenburg GAA Newsletter June 2012
Hello all and welcome to the June edition of Gothenburg GAA newsletter.
Training
June 19th is the last confirmed training session in Kviberg.This is mainly due to the fact that we d'ont and c'ant have it booked after June 19th.Of course, other sessions can be organised during July in Slottskogen but space is at a premium there and also after this weekend,midsummer and vacation kicks in so people may not be about.Training recommences for ladies and men on Tuesday 31st July.As the girls traim as well on Thursdays, itll be good to keep something going in july so they re right and ready for August tournaments.
Friendlies & Tournaments
On 30 th June ,Gothenburg GAA ladies will play their first ever friendly against Malmo GAA ladies at Kviberg at 1pm.Your support on this day for them is greatly appreciated.Unfortunately, it falls on the same day that our mens team compete in the 2nd round of the Nordic championship with the boys visting Oslo for the 1st time.We need some help with the following :
-- will someone from the guys team who isnt travelling to Oslo but staying in Gothenburg please act as mentor and trainer to the girls? They deserve to have someone on the sidelines.Both their trainers ( im in the States and Paul is in Oslo) are away and the girls have been putting in a tremendous amount of work this year.
--- we have use of the pitch but if someone could adapt the smaller soccer goals up there by just adding some wooden goalposts on the Friday night or the Saturday morning ? Otherwise, theyll just have to play into the soccer goals or adapt the Aussie posts which is far more work ?
--- Mia said she can organise kit for the ladies on the day but if anyone can get kit , please advise Mia so we are not left with any kit ?
Food will be served later in the Lokal off Drottninggatan after the match so please contact Mia for details .
Also, for the boys.If ye are intending travelling to Oslo , please advise myself or Paul Curley immediately.Paul is trying to organise accomodation in Oslo at a reasonable price but needs numbers.So far the people confirmed for travelling and staying one night are Moises,Ossian,Paul,Paul 's brother,friend of Paul.Magnus ( new guy ) is 50% sure of going and Niall is going subject to injury progression.David Burke and Keith Creamer are intending to travel and return same day.if we are short we'll be borrowing players from Oslo.A huge thank you to all who are going as I know how much of a commitment it is.Also, for any new people going, we need your personal details so they can be registered on the GAA system for registration purposes.
Gothenburg GAA Golf Classic
This year we will be holding our second GAA golf classic.We are just waiting on dates from the golf club and this year we may be holding it with Gothenburg Celtic soccer team as our co-partners.Details to follow.

-- will someone from the guys team who isnt travelling to Oslo but staying in Gothenburg please act as mentor and trainer to the girls? They deserve to have someone on the sidelines.Both their trainers ( im in the States and Paul is in Oslo) are away and the girls have been putting in a tremendous amount of work this year.
--- we have use of the pitch but if someone could adapt the smaller soccer goals up there by just adding some wooden goalposts on the Friday night or the Saturday morning ? Otherwise, theyll just have to play into the soccer goals or adapt the Aussie posts which is far more work ?
--- Mia said she can organise kit for the ladies on the day but if anyone can get kit , please advise Mia so we are not left with any kit ?
Food will be served later in the Lokal off Drottninggatan after the match so please contact Mia for details .
Also, for the boys.If ye are intending travelling to Oslo , please advise myself or Paul Curley immediately.Paul is trying to organise accomodation in Oslo at a reasonable price but needs numbers.So far the people confirmed for travelling and staying one night are Moises,Ossian,Paul,Paul 's brother,friend of Paul.Magnus ( new guy ) is 50% sure of going and Niall is going subject to injury progression.David Burke and Keith Creamer are intending to travel and return same day.if we are short we'll be borrowing players from Oslo.A huge thank you to all who are going as I know how much of a commitment it is.Also, for any new people going, we need your personal details so they can be registered on the GAA system for registration purposes.

Hej Alliansen!
Nu är vi igång på riktigt! För er som inte var med i torsdags vill jag bara säga att ni missade ett historiskt möte då vi nu officiellt har startat Göteborgs Idrottsallians! Mäktigt! Hoppas alla är lika nöjda som jag, för nu börjar det roliga, redan på lördag smäller det ju!
Mötesprotokollet och stadgarna kommer att skickas ut i veckan så fort våra justeringspersoner läst igenom dem.
Inför lördag så skall varje idrott/klubb skicka in en planering över hur ni vill att dagen skall se ut för er. Denna skall skickas senast nu på torsdag. Detta gör att vi så mycket som möjligt kan samarbeta med olika arrangemang och dylikt så att vi inte strular till det under dagen. T.ex. tänker Baseballen köra lite "beeball" för de allra minsta (3-7år) mellan 11-12, GAA har tänkt att köra en liten uppvisningsmatch. Nämn gärna hur många ni är från varje klubb som är intresserade av att hjälpa till, så att jag på ett ungefär vet hur många aktiva som är där under dagen.
Alla klubbar skall också ställa upp med en liten tävling för de som prövar på så att det blir extra skoj. Den person som får bäst poäng från varje idrott kommer att vinna ett spännande pris. Är det någon som har något fräckt från er klubb som vi kan använda som pris vore det också grymt.
Jag/Berserkers kommer att ställa upp ett partytält samt anordna ett litet fik så att vi får in pengar för planhyran. Här kan vi också sälja klubbars merchendise och dylikt. Vi tänkte lite dricka, godis o grilla lite korv så vi har nått i alla fall.
Passa nu på och sprida ryktet om lördag, bifogar därför våra posters.
Jag kommer vara vid planerna från cirka kl.10. Hade uppskattat ifall alla som skall hjälpa till är där vid denna tid.
Plan 7 o 8, kl.11-14.
Jag har också gjort alliansens första intervju, vilken ni kan läsa på sidan 6 och framsidan om ni följer denna länk;
http://pdf.direktpress.se/
Har också bekräftat med Kulturkalaset och vi kommer få en yta på cirka 30x20 meter. Mer info om detta kommer.
Nästa möte blir är onsdagen den 13 juni, vid Landhockeys lokaler på Von Utfallsgatan 21. Kommer att skicka ut en kallelse till detta snart också.
Har ni några frågor innan lördag så tveka inte att höra av er!
Glöm inte att skicka in en planering innan torsdag!
Ser verkligen framemot detta!
Mvh
