Monday 11pm (Not long after coming home from the U 16 win over St. Croan's in Ballintuber!)
Boyle GAA Clubs (Adult Males, Minor Males and Ladies Club) are joining forces to embark on its most ambitious fundraising project ever in this coming September. It is intended to walk to entire journey from Boyle to Dublin, starting on Monday 12th September, collecting funds along the way and in the various towns and villages along and in proximity to the route. The journey will be undertaken in stages and we will arrive in Dublin on the evening of Saturday 17th September, the eve of the All Ireland Football Final. This is a massive undertaking which will require the committment of very many members of the three clubs. It is intended that different club members will volunteer for walking and collecting on the different days throughout the week, so that the burden can be shared. It should be a fun occasion and a great chance for the many club members to get to know each other in an environment other than in the context of playing or attendance at football matches. It is estimated that at least 20 volunteers will be needed on each day.
The full support of all three football clubs is earnestly needed to make this event a success. The Clubs are in need of the funds to help expedite the clearance of the debt that has been incurred in the developments in the Abbey Park in recent years and to enable the Club to embark on further enhancements to Club facilities to cater for the needs of future generations of Boyle footballers-male and female.
Just think of the comraderie that can be built up from this undertaking-don't even think of sore feet etc! To paraphrase a more famous person-ask not what your club can do for you, but ask what you can do for your club and for the future generations!
There will be a special meeting in the Clubroom on this Thursday evening at 8.30pm to announce details of the project. It is essential that the three clubs-senior and minor, male and ladies clubs are all represented.
