Firewood Auction: The auction was held last Saturday at the Complex in very good weather conditions.
Although volumes of timber were down on last year’s levels, prices were up and with brisk demand record prices were reached for one tractor load of prime ash. The club would like to thank all the volunteers who worked overtime in adverse weather conditions to meet Saturday‘s deadline. Special thanks to Michael Hayes for making his barn available for the processing of the timber and to all who volunteered tractors and trailers. Last but not least, sincerest thanks to the people who generously donated the timber to the club. The draw date for the trailer of ash has been extended. Tickets are on sale in most local business outlets.
Dates to remember: The Club A.G.M. will be held on Friday, January 13th at 8pm. Nomination forms will be available shortly.

anyway to the club in 2011 and wishes all our players, members, and supporters a very happy Christmas
and prosperous New Year.
