Clonduff GAA Club Notes
May 17, 2012Don't Forget! Clonduff Launch 5-Year Plan!
Clonduff GAA Club, in its 125th Year, has been engaged over the last number of months in a detailed review of its activities, structures and overall role within the Community to formulate a "Vision" for the Club and establish exactly where it wants to be in 5 Years time.
Members and non-members of Clonduff Club are invited to a presentation of this new 5 Year Plan to be held on:
Wednesday 16th May at 8.00pm in the Clubrooms.
This will be an opportunity to hear and understand how the Club intends to develop and improve what it does and how it does it as well as interact more with the wider community and we very much hope that you will be able to attend.
SOS! Missing Jersey! The Under 8 No 21 Football Jersey has been missing since the Blitz in Atticall on 24th March. It's a very easy thing for a child to put into his/her bag by mistake. We are asking parents to check the children's bags and if it's there please send it down to the next training session.
