A small number of tickets remain for this Friday's 125 Celebration Banquet in the Landmark Hotel, Carrick on Shannon. It's a night not to be missed and includes the launch the second volume of our Club History, the announcement of the Team of 35 years and live music from Slider.

The Under 12 team had an enjoyable end of year trip to Zipit Adventures at Lough Key on Saturday. The trip was financed by the player's sponsored Solo Run event which took place in October and the funds will also benefit their future coaching needs. Thank you to all who assisted in organising the day and also to those who supported the sponsored Solo Run.
The final ABC/Nursery Coaching Session of the year took place in the Community Centre last Saturday morning. It proved to be a very successful programme and the Club wishes to thank all the children who participated and all the parents and coaches who helped out over the last six weeks. The Club hopes to run a follow-up ABC/Nursery programme for 5 – 8 year olds in February.
