Take a moment
It is with great sadness that I report today the passing of a good
friend to us here in the Irish community in Gothenburg ,our dear friend
Paul McCreevy.Paul was a good friend not only to me but to all the
ex-pat community here and his passing will be sorely missed.
Paul succumbed to the terrible disease that is lung cancer at the early age of 41 and he leaves behind his wife Daniella and his lovely son ,Cian.
Paul loved his family and his rugby and golf and took great pleasure in playing for the Irish team in our yearly Ryder Cup competition at the local golf club here in Gothenburg.
On behalf of Gothenburg GAA and the entire ex-pat community here in Gothenburg, I wish to pass on our sincerest condolances to his family in Sweden and in Dublin ...

training 28th of april slottskogen
Alrite people,
hope youse are all enjoying the longer evenings and spell of sunny weather.
To be very clear and obvious about training tomorrow evening wednesday 28th of april:
Training begins at 6.30 sharpissshhhh, so we get the most of the daylight.
Meeting place is the car park beside the Villa Belparc restaurant Slottsskogen park.
There are no changing room facilities or shower
so best to come in tracksuit over your training gear or whatever suits
yourself. Bring boots and trainers with you so we can change depending
on the ground.
I have been told trams 1,3,7 go this direction and the stop is the botanical garden.
Training
turnouts have been getting better and its often a case of average to
healthy numbers. If we got everyone out who trains, intends to train or
is playing member with the club on the same evening we would have
between 15-20 at training. While I realistically don't expect this to
happen every week, or possibly any week, it would be grand if we had a
couple of good, tight sessions before the mid May tournament comes
around. I swear we could get a win or two. Lets keep it lit and see
where the season takes us.
All the best

Hi Lads,
just to say that the website is 99% done and in my book it is good enough to publish in its current condition. First things first, the website is now www.gothenburggaa.com

Going forward
Hello all
I just want to send a quick message to all those who attended, helped out and generally enjoyed a cracking night last Friday night at the Gothenburg GAA/Irish night. It was a great night - so great in fact that we were at one stage close to exceeding the capacity of the building (150 people) ! It was a great turnout and people really showed up and contributed to one of our best nights ever.
A huge, huge thank you to Catherine and Kevin (for organising the food aided and abetted by the great Kevin Higgins whose correct assertation about the quantity of food meant he was cooking like a trooper for the whole day). Catherine whipped everyone in to shape on the night and helped in organising the music and clean up. Kevin did troajan work with the food and clean-up and making sure everything went smoothly. A special mention to Mia, David, Eoin (for the dancing) and Niall (for coming despite pneumonia).
If you have money from tickets sold,please bring it to training next Friday night. Lets build on this now and pit our heads together for our next social event ( we can discuss after training this Friday )
Training
Training is booked next Friday night ( 23rd March ) from 7pm to 9pm in Valhamra Stativshall.Training with the Aussies on Wednesday is optional to you-theres no pressure to attend.This will be one of our last indoor sessions as the weather will now be good enough to train outside again.First outdoor cardio session will be in Slottskogen ( usual meeting place on Tuesday 26th March at 6.30pm.
New members
Great to see a few new members joining our ranks ( Ossian,Tavi,Aldo,PaulJonathan ) and ladies ( Priscilla,Madde,Lena) .. lets keep the interest and their interest going !!!
