Special Members Draw: Thank you to all those who have signed up for the Special Members Draw for the 2018/19 year. Once again, we have had a great response so far.

If you have yet to renew your subscription or would like to sign up for the first time, there is a short window of opportunity to do so. The draws for November and December will take place together at our upcoming AGM on Sunday 16 December. A subscription to the draw would be an ideal Christmas gift for a family member at home or abroad. A minimum of €800 will be given away in each monthly draw with, 1st Prize of €500 and 3 €100 prizes. In addition subscribers will enjoy: 2019 Membership to Dromard GAA Club; Access to the Weekly and Monthly Newsletter and; Entry into Draw for All-Ireland Tickets (hurling & football).

Dromard Ladies Club Notes

Presentation Night: Many thanks to Paul Hourican for pulling together a picture gallery of the evening as it ran it's course. These photos can be viewed on the Dromard Ladies Facebook page for those of you who didn't make it on the night, or for those that did to look back on. He also added great comments to each photo, so do please have a look.

 

Fuel Draw: Tickets are now with all local shops and every Ladies Club member, so no excuse to miss out on 1,200 euro worth of fabulous prices. We thank everybody far and wide for supporting us and all our members for selling the tickets to support their club. Without you all there would be no club. The draw takes place on Sunday 20th January.

 

Dromard Faroige: This is up and running a few weeks now. Open to girls and boy aged 12 years + it meets every Friday evening from 8.30pm until 9.30pm in the Latin School. This is a great opportunity to meet up with your team mates during the winter months and look forward to next season. You may even manage to recruit a few new girls for Dromard Ladies!

The first major event that the girls and boys have organised is a Cake Sale on Sun 16th December at 4pm in the Latin School. Drinks and mince pies will be served on the day, so please support our young people who are organising this and stock up on cakes and goodies for the Christmas.

 

Birthdays: Lots of celebrations this week. Linda Martin, great supporter and ex player (unless we can persuade her otherwise) has a birthday on Thursday, but won't tell us how many there have been before. Meadhbh Carberry will be 12 on Saturday. Kate Waters will also be 12 on Sunday. Caoimhe Kearney will be 12 on Monday and Beibhinn Courtney will be 9 also on Monday. So many parties to go to! We hope you all have lovely celebrations ladies.
