Oisín Nuachtlitir na Samhna / Halloween Newsletter

Welcome to this special Halloween edition of the Oisín Newsletter.  The season is now over for another year, however lots of hard work is still going on in the background in the club.   The AGM is coming up soon along with the Annual Award Dinner presentation.

The club is continuing their work with the Club Maith award and have also entered for Scór Na nOg and hoping to enter teams for Scór Sinsir.   The ‘Friends of Glenariffe’ are working extremely hard to sell tickets for ‘The Big Draw’ all of which is part of the exciting new development proposed for 2015.

Oisín CLG is indeed a vibrant club and continues to grow from strength to strength.  This could not be possible without the help and hard work of the dedicated committee members and managers and of course the continued support from you the community.

Once again a huge thanks to everyone who helped out in any way this year.   Your help is invaluable to the club.  I hope you enjoy this edition of the newsletter and I will update you all at Christmas with any new issues.

Young Farmers/Ulster Council Programme

If interested please contact Maggie McToal, Kenny McCormack or any mentor as soon as possible – see details below:

Ulster GAA are involved in a programme of education for young people, aged 16 – 25 years, in conjunction with the Young Farmers Clubs of Ulster.

There are seven workshops taking place, at various locations, over the next six months (October – March). The workshops will educate young people in areas such as healthy lifestyles, farm and road safety, and other issues relevant to young people. This is a worthwhile exercise to be involved in from a learning point of view, but also good experience to add to CVs and so forth.

We are approaching four GAA clubs per workshop to provide six participants per Club, aged 16-25 years, to attend one workshop. Fifteen GAA members will be selected, from the total 168, to attend a final event in March 2013.

Ulster GAA will be offering a sports voucher to clubs who come on-board with the scheme.

Each workshop will last from 7.30pm – 9.30pm finishing with tea and coffee.

I am emailing your Club to see if you can provide six participants to attend a workshop on Tuesday 11th December in the Bushmills Community Centre, BR57 8QG from 7.30pm – 9.30pm.

If you are interested please come back to me with the names of the six males and/or females who will attend, or an indication that the club wish to be involved.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Le meas,

Maura Kelly

Club & Community Development Officer
