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.
New members
We 'd
like to shout out a big welcome to Triona Byrne who arrives to us from
Kildare in Ireland.Triona is here to study and will only be with us for a
short while but is up for the game and the craic ! Triona is a camogie
player back home but will give the big ball game a lash nonetheless..
welcome Triona and we hope you enjoy your stay.Anything we can do to help , just let us know !!
Gothenburg GAA abu !!!
