Clontibret Club Notes
March 19, 2019Membership
Its last call for club membership for 2019 which must be paid before 31 st March, in
order to be a fully paid up member, for the coming year. Full adult membership is €75
(€50 for students) while Youth membership is €50. Those who have contributed fully to
Clontibret Our Future have no membership fee, while there is also a reduced youth
rate for children of contributors to COF. It is extremely important that all players in
both football and hurling at all age groups pay their membership fees immediately as
only by doing so do they cover themselves for participation in the GAA Players Injury
scheme for both training and games.
