Melvin Gaels GAA Club Notes 04/12/2018

Concussion Management – Updated Concussion Management Guidelines for Gaelic Games for your reference. This is the first time there is a common guidelines document between the three associations which will help with awareness and promotion of the key messages and recommendations in relation to concussion identification, treatment and return to play protocols. The guidelines, including other complimentary resources are also available on https://learning.gaa.ie/Concussion  An awareness and education campaign will be rolled out by all three associations in 2019.

The Late David Clancy – There was shock and sadness in the Club and wider community at the news of the sad and tragic death of David Clancy, Agharrow, Tullaghan last week. David played for Melvin Gaels and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. The Club extends deepest sympathy to all David’s family, relatives and many friends. May he rest in peace.

50/50 Draw – The winner of last week’s draw was Finbarr Torney, Ardfarna, Bundoran. Finbarr won €207. Get your ticket now for this week’s draw.

You can now play 5050 as a Direct Debit or Annual Ticket. Never miss out on buying your weekly ticket again!!! And if you are away from home, you can still support Melvin Gaels!

Get Your Mark on Melvin Park – It is very important that all Club Members help with the fundraising needed to complete the work on Melvin Park. Anyone who has not yet contributed is asked to do so as soon as possible. Contact any member of the Development Committee to purchase your ”Mark” and ensure that the Club will have the facilities everyone can be proud of. The support has been very good so far. The fundraising will involve “Make Your Mark on Melvin Park” for €100 which will represent a square of Melvin Park, entry into a draw, prizes 5x €1000, and your name on a commemorative plaque. To get your “Mark on Melvin Park” contact Spar, Kinlough or Pat at 0871787194 or Katherine at 087 287 0086 or go to www.kinloughcommunitycentre.wordpress.com.

Lights On – The lights will be on at the Training Pitch every evening from 4pm to 9pm as a Health Initiative so that the Community can make use of them on the dark evenings.
