The following room types have been booked :  2 x5 bed rooms and one 6 bed rooms.i am waiting on them to confirm one more 3 bed room.
The cost of the 5 bed room is 210 sek per person ( this is a 4 bed room rate so we may get it cheaper on the night.. ie 400 sek for the 2 nights.
The cost of the 6 bed room is 180 sek per night ... 360 sek for two nights.
 
Please see below info from their website and the costs of optional extras if you so wish ..I think the cleaning is a mandatory cost but ill confirm before we leave.In order to save costs, i would say to bring your own sheets,pillows and towels.
 

Welcome to Rut & Ragnars hostel


Rut & Ragnars is a hostel centrally near the cozy Möllevången, within walking distance to most of Malmö.

Our place has free wireless internet, TV in all private rooms, free parking, a laundry you can borrow, guest kitchen and everything else you would expect in a hostel including a good spirit :) or call us on +4640-611 60 60.

Important inforamtion:
Sheets and towels can be hired from us, otherwise you need too bring your own.
Cleaning: 70 SEK/person
Breakfast: 45 SEK
Sheets : 50 SEK
Towel: 20 SEK
All-in price (breakfast, sheets, towel): 100 SEK
you can  buy locks for the lockers in the dorm from us or you can bring your own.

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 andthat 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 effoer people put in and their efforts to attend .it really is what the club is all about.!!!

Training Schedule
we will train every Tuesday up until the tournament... ie 7th and 14th of august.also, Daniel and Jessica take additional  training on Thursdays in Hisingen.Look at Facebook for the directions.
lets get cracking.!!

Also, we will need a ladies kit for Malmo .Can we borrow the Gothenburg Celtics kit again ... ?? Niall, wouldyou mind taking this on again ?


Estonian Ladies Tournament
Congrats to Mia who attended the inaugural Estonian GAA Ladies tournament in Tailinn at the weekend.Fair play to her.. this is a big commitment to go and she deserves all the plaudits for getting out there and attending these tournaments!!!well done Mia... hope you had a good time.Also something to keep in mind.There will now be a direct flight from Gothenburg to Tailinn starting in Feb 2013.Achallenge match for both ladies and mens teams could be a great idea for next year....

As part of this there is an event organised by the Göteborgs Idrottsallians so that people can come along and see the following spots: Gaelic football, Australian and American football, baseball, softball, cricket, field hockey, lacrosse and ultimate frisbee. It is a perfect opportunity to show what the sport is about and to get new players.

See the following link for more information: http://kulturkalaset.goteborg.com/2012/programpunkt.php?id=1245

Joel has organised a meeting with the other clubs in the Idrottsallians for next week (6th of August @ 7 p.m. in Valhalla Landhockeys "clubrooms", von utfallsgatan). In this meeting it will be discussed what exactly will be done for the event in the Kulturkalaset.

Ladies nordic gaelic championsh​ip and friendly tournament for men

Hello all,
as per below, can you confirm who is going to Tailinn August 4th. I know about Mia. Who else is going? I may still be going but wont know till the weekend.
regds,
   Billy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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,

Can you please communicate to your members who may be interested.
