St. John's GAC notes
June 20, 2016The Under 8s are in blitz action at home on Saturday morning. Games start at 9.30am. All players to meet at St Johns at 9.10am. The earlier start time is due to Down's All-Ireland Qualifier which is being played in Newry on Saturday afternoon.
St Johns are hosting the Kelloggs Cúl and Nursery Camp from 22 to 26 August 2016. Kellogg's GAA Cúl Camps provide boys and girls - between the ages of 6 and 13 - with an action-packed and fun-filled week of activity during the summer holidays which revolves around maximising enjoyment and sustaining participant involvement in Gaelic Games.
Nursery Camp is for children commencing P2 and P3. Cost is £25.00 per child. Children starting P1 are not eligible for enrolment. This camp runs from 10.00am to 12.30pm.
Please note, Nursery Camp applications must not be completed online as the Nursery Camp is not a national camp so therefore you will pay more!
Cúl Camp is for all children commencing P4 up to the age of 13. The cost is £40.00. Concessions are available for additional family members for cúl camp. The camp runs from 10 am to 2.30pm
All children attending the camps will receive the new Cúl Camp Kit for 2016 - They will love this!
New Jersey, new half zip training top and coordinated Kit Bag

Online Applications can be accessed now at www.kelloggsculcamps.gaa.ie. We encourage you to complete online as this helps greatly in the ordering of the kits.

Please note: The Online Booking facility closes at noon on the Friday preceding the week of the camps.
There will also be a registration evening at the club on Tuesday 28th June from 7.30 to 8.30pm.
