Significant progress continues to be made in researching and writing a book to commemorate our Centenary Year in 2008. With the deadline for publication looming ever closer, the club would appeal to anyone with photographs, newspaper clippings, programmes, old medals or material that might be of interest to get in contact with any member of the club committee.
In particular, we are currently on the look-out for photographs dating back to the early part of this century relating to the people and village of Moy. We would like to hear from anyone who may be in possession of family photographs and/or pictures of events and property in Moy from 1900 to 1950. All material will be returned promptly to their rightful owners in the same condition in which it was supplied.
The club intend to launch the book at a special Centenary Gala Night in Armagh City Hotel on Saturday 22nd November 2008. Among those who will be in attendance at this major event will be the current President of the GAA, Nicky Brennan, and other well known personalities.
We would appreciate the co-operation of all our members and friends in compiling this very special publication which will be an integral part of our club's history.
Come on Tyrone!
Good luck to Colm, Philip, Ryan, Sean and the rest of the Tyrone senior squad and management for this Saturday night's All-Ireland Qualifier first round match against Louth in Drogheda.

Secret Agent in Moy!
Members of An Mhaigh G.A.C. beware! It would appear that a high-profile committee member within our club has been leading a double life. His secret identity was revealed recently by another high-ranking club official who uncovered a photograph of our club officer dressed as secret agent Austin Powers. Since joining our club, this man of mystery has always taken a great interest in "Moneypenny" but it is not yet known known if he has come face-to-face with a Dr Evil in Moy. When asked to explain his double identity, he simply replied: "It is groovy, baby"! Mmmmm.
