G.A.A.Data Base Unauthorised Access:
Apparently the data base of GAA membership at national level has been compromised to some degree having been accessed in an unauthorised way. The GAA has set up a dedicated information line at 1890 987 807 for any members concerned by the data breach. So if there are unsolicited calls beware. Of course this follows in every situation. There have been assurances that there is no evidence of misuse of the information and an individual has been brought in for questioning on the matter. However it is certainly not what the GAA wants to hear within such a short time of the launch of the national registration scheme.
Lotto: The following were the €20 euro winners at the most recent Club Lotto draw
which was held in the Moving Stairs on Saturday night last; Gerry
Enright, Seamus Cooney, Brid and Conor McGowan, Vincent Flanagan,
Perpetua McGee, John Finn, Michael O'Dowd, Gerry Mattimoe, Darragh
Loftus and Francis King. The house prize was won by Sean Hogan. This
Week's draw will be held in An Craoibhin on Saturday night next with Mary
Clifford's team in charge. The jackpot will be €2,300 euro.

Our instrumental music troupe of ConorTivnan and Caoimhe and Jack Morris
performed admirably in the Scor na nOg County Finals in Athlone on
Sunday but lost out to an excellent Castlerea group. All three will gain
from the experience and hopefully they will be back again next year.

The County Board AGM will be held on Saturday next and our Club Presdent
John Joe Nerney will step down as County Board President, having served
the stipulated two year term with dignity and destinction. John Joe has
served the GAA as All-Ireland winning player, trainer, adviser and
administrator since the nineteen thirties and long may he continue.
The club's annual quiz on the 29th Dec. looks like it will be a significant club social night of the Christmas season.
Congrats to our Club members who proved that their
fancy footwork on theplaying fields converts to the stage as shown in
the Celebrity Jigs and Reels last weekend. Aaron O'Connor, with Cait
Skeffington took the title while Martin Purcell and Gerry Cregg were
among the dancers while Junior Smith was equally adept as MC for the
night.
I hope the eagle (Karl Keenan) has landed and when you get settled Karl give us the lowdown on down under. T.

Go raibh maith agaibh,
