Club Notes 7/2/12
Presentation Night- The Juvenile Presentation and Registration night will take place on Friday 24th February 2012. Here medals will be presented to the u12 team from 2010 and the u14 and U16 teams from 2011. We will also acknowledge the great success of the Scór na nÓg groups over the past 2 years. This night will also serve as a registration night for all members. In order to play this is compulsory. An adult must attend on the night to do this. A number of the committee on the night will be there to help you fill out the forms. We would also ask all families that have juvenile players to become Friends of Drumhowan. This automatically makes parents/ guardians and all children under the age of 18 members of the club. This can be done for €10 a month by direct debit which is great value when you consider that all teams meet up at least twice a week for 8 months are are trained by qualified and garda vetted coaches. The money goes to the affiliation and insurance of all teams plus other running costs within the club.
