Mon. 9.30am.
Walk to Croker: The next meeting re. the 'Walk' is on this Wednesday night at 9.There is a most encouraging positive response to the request for volunteers to take part in the "Walk to Croker" fundraising project. Team Captains have volunteered and been appointed to take charge of each day of the walk. We are anxious that all interested in participating in walking or collecting would give their names to Club Secretary Kathleen Hanmore at 086 1229421 or to any of the Club officers, stating day or days of availability. The project will be undertaken over six days, commencing on Monday 12th September, with an average of twenty miles being covered daily. We ware hoping to have up to twenty volunteers in action from Monday to Saturday and we will need at least forty to cover collections in Dublin on All-Ireland Sunday. Hopefully our numbers will be boosted in Dublin by Boyle residents there on the Saturday evening and on Sunday before and after the All-Ireland...so please let us know or get a group organised to meet us when and where required in Dublin for a few hours.
