A chairde,

I'd like to thank the Tallinn and Helsinki clubs for a brilliant day last Saturday - their appearance on the seen has been a fantastic boost for us all. Tallinn organised a great event and Helsinki played some good football- the future bodes well for the region.

I recently got the good news that RTE have commissioned a radio documentary about us here in Scandinavia - they're sending a producer (Pat O'Mahony) to join us in Stockholm next week, where he'll then take part in the minibus drive down and attend the Malmö tournament on the Saturday. 

On the day he'll be recording short interviews with players, partners and friends alike, as well as capturing the atmosphere of the biggest tournament of the year. It's a great opportunity for us to keep European GAA on the agenda back home and to continue the work that our region has been doing in terms of lifting the profile of the games abroad. 

Pat will be in touch with you all soon to introduce himself - I've worked with him before and he is both a consummate professional and a very decent fella (for a Kildare man)...

Looking forward to seeing you all at the final tournament of the season next week! 

Best Regards,

Phil

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 2:Numbers & Travel

Numbers can finally be confirmed for Malmö:
Male Players: Niall/Eoin/Stephen/Tom/Mal/

Adrian/Daniel/Billy/Paul/Moses/David
Female Players: Mia/Therese/Stina/Maria/Malin/Jessica/Madeline/Josefin
Management - Dec/Jakey/Kevin

As per agreement, we will travel down on Friday night. We will leave from Heden Katolska Kyrkan/opposite the Jet Station and beside the Ullevi Tennis Klub.
Same place as last time at 6.30 sharp. As it stands, we will be driving down by car (Billy & Jakey & Moses car / Paul is trying to get a minibus from Volvo).

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!!
