NOTICE: Please pass on apologies to those most used to seeing club notes published in the papers. This will resume again next week. Also please look out for a club members whatsapp group which will be for publishing club notes only.
Thank-you: to our Volunteer Committee. The grafters that get most real work done round the club. Work has begun on our new Dug outs and fence. They’ve also started the process to re-locate the scoreboard. Thanks to all the volunteers involved who not only donate their time and expertise but often resource these projects themselves. True community spirit. A huge appreciation from the club must go to Martin Mc Guigan and the team at Oddball Engineering Solutions who designed and manufactured the dug outs and were very generous in the process.

Health and Well Being: We can be very proud of how the club was represented in the community efforts and we can now hopefully look forward to the Health and well being committee delivering the self care plans they had set out previous to the lock down. We will have an update after next committee meeting in early September.
Covid-19 Update: The onus has very much been put on members during the return to play. We continue to seek the co-operation and patience of our members. Parents can stay at matches and whilst spectators are now welcome; social distancing remains a necessary evil.
REMINDER: All players and members must keep up to date with their health questionnaire confirmation before every training. Wash your hands as often as possible, help to sanitise all equipment, adhere to club recommended procedures. Please consider others.
The onus in the successful and safe return to play is very much with our members. A responsible and diligent approach to how we continue to contain the covid-19 virus will ensure safety and good health for all and will allow the path to some kind of normality to continue.
Sympathies & support:
The club and all its members offer our prayers and condolences to all those in the community dealing with illness and bereavement. We continue to support all our members in any way possible. Please respect the delicacy of wakes and funerals observing covid guidelines were and when requested.
