A chara,

I wish to draw your attention to the ‘Nothing beats being there’ competition which went live on the Official GAA Facebook page recently.

The lucky winner is being offered the chance to fly one person home from abroad for the Football or Hurling All-Ireland final. The winning duo will also be given two nights accommodation in the Croke Park Hotel. 
The competition is exclusive to the Official GAA Facebook page and all details are explained within the competition itself. 

Attached to this email is a short news story and an image which I would greatly appreciate if you could upload it to the home page of your website to help spread this information and also send it out through your social media platforms you may have. 

The competition is open until Sunday, August 19 and any help you can give us in promoting it over the next few weeks would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me. 
Le meas,

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

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 !!!

Of course, if I've let any of the newcomers out, please pass on the request as to their intentions to travel. Even based on the above numbers, this looks like one of the strongest panels we'll have ever assembled at a tournament. Absolutely brilliant stuff..

Based on the above numbers, I've made a request for accomodation at Rut och Ragnars hostel on Spannehusvagen 77. We have stayed there before and the prices are reasonable and its fine and basic. I've made a provisional request for 16 people staying 2 nights so if your plans are different, please let me know soonest.

As for transport down, it looks like we may need drivers to volunteer but we ll know more as the numbers get confirmed.!!

Let 's get it on !!!!
