Club registration - Last chance

The deadline for club registration is tomorrow, Tuesday, so we ask all club members who have not yet done so to complete their registration using our online option on Klubfunder.com. Click on the link or search for 'Aodh Ruadh Ballyshannon' on the Klubfunder.com site. Alternatively, membership forms and fees can be put in an envelope and marked for the attention of Lisa McTernan and left in Kernan's Spar. Forms can be downloaded and printed from aodhruadh.org. It is essential all players are signed up club members. Non members are not covered by the GAA's injury insurance scheme and cannot line out for the club. Adult members will receive first priority for the club's allocation of All-Ireland final tickets in the event of Donegal contesting the decider. Only adult members registered by 31st March may vote at the club AGM.

 

Closure of club facilities
As a response to the latest instructions from the GAA at National Level our Park / Development Committee has had to take the regrettable step of completely closing all club facilities with effect from last Wednesday, March 25th. We particularly regret having to close the fitness trail at Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh which was being used in a very responsible way by individual players, club members and the local community. The instructions received are explicit as clubs must, "Close their facilities completely, including the use of all pitches and property for recreational purposes including walking, casual games or gatherings." Our properties have been secured to comply with the new directive. Notices have been placed on our properties to inform users of this latest development in the fight against the pandemic. It should be noted that there will be some activity at Aras Aoidh Ruaidh as a HSE request to use the building as a training centre for some of its frontline personnel has been approved. In the event of queries or concerns in relation to this latest development please make contact with any of the Park / Development Committee Officers - Tom Daly, Conal Gallagher or David McLoone.

Condolences

Aodh Ruadh extends our sincere sympathies to the Monaghan and Gavigan families of Tonagree on the passing of Sean Gavigan. Sean played for the club in his youth and also served as a committee member over the years and will be remembered a passionate Donegal supporter. His funeral took place on Monday and was private to family only. A Memorial Mass for Sean will take place at a later date. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.
