Gothenburg GAA Newsletter September 2012

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 !!

The draws for Saturday II

Hello all

Just a quick note to all.

Now it seems Malmo do NOT have players to give us ( for the men )  so we'll just have to wait and see what we get down there ... just found this out about an hour ago.

See ye saturday

The draws for Saturday

Hey all

 

See attached the draw details for Saturday ...

 

Some comments

 

1. We will have to leave at 5.30 am sharp  nowfrom outside the Dubliners .First match for the Gothenburg  ladies is 9am and its a 3hr plus drive.The ladies will have to go straight to the dressing rooms and change and then Kevin or myself  will take you for a warm up. .( Mia & Stina... make sure you get there in time !).Ridiculous  time to start.I will try and see can we get our start time changed but i dont think so.The schedule is as follows :

 

Ladies... Match1 vs Stockholm  9am

               Match 2 vs Belgium    11am

              Match 3 vs Holland 1pm

 

Mens  Match 1 vs Paris / Lyon    9.40am

           Match 2 vs Belgium B       11am.

 

For the first match, we will have a coach/ trainer on the sideline  for the ladies and will try and do same for 2nd match even though mens and ladies start at the same time..These things never go to plan so we may be fine.

It says on the PDF that the changing rooms are very close to the evening venue but the plan is ( pending our involvement in finals ) is that once both teams are ready , we pile back into the minibus and head straight for the hotel.The latest the men can be finshed pitchside  is 5pm and for the ladies 6.30pm.Oncewe are ready at the hotel , we head straight out to the Venue where the meal is on.I guarantee it will not start at 7.30pm and even if it does , the queues will be long for the food.So the plan is to stay a while and take the minibuses back into town for whoever wants to go back in.This will save time and effort as taxis from there will be a nightmare with people wanting to go back into town from the meal venue.We deposit the buses either back at the hotel or at an overnight carpark in the centre and then head into town.. We found pictures of the venue and basically it is a local townhall with tables and chairs with a kitchen attached.With upwards of 250 players , the place will be choccers.!!!!

       

have a look at the attached file and any questions let me know ... see ye all bright and early now !!!
