GRMA Card (Go raibh maith agat)

The GAA has recently launched the registration site for the new GAA Membership Card and ‘GRMA’ rewards programme. From the end of January, those who have registered will be able to earn points for going to games and engaging in GAA activities.  Members will be able to redeem points for ticket vouchers and other offers.

A GAA membership number will be required to register; once 2017 membership is renewed and paid the club can give the member their 2017 membership number. Registered Members will receive their official GAA Membership Card personalised with their name, club and GAA membership number once registered.

Membership Cards will only be distributed to members who have signed up to grma online.  For further details, visit gaa.ie/grma.

Kiltale Hurling Club & Camogie Club Dinner Dance

A date for your diary: the dinner dance will take place on 4th March, 2017 at 7.30pm in the Knightsbrook Hotel, Trim.  More information in the New Year.

Defibrillator Training

The club will have training for using the defibrillator in January – so we’re asking mentors and players to be trained up on this.  No one knows when if ever the defibrillator will be need and we feel that the more people involved in the club should be aware on how to use it.  The club will be placing the defibrillator outside the dressing rooms in the coming weeks.

Please give your name to Liz Phelan 086-1205552 if you’re interested in being trained. There will be a small fee to assist this training.

Bingo

Bingo has resumed in Kiltale every Tuesday night from 8:30pm (sharp) – all are welcome for an enjoyable evening.
