ACTIVITY DAY IN CROKE PARK 2018
Below outlines details regarding the annual U12 (Players born in 2006) Activity Day that takes place in Croke Park this Sunday. This is an annual event and is always well received by the participants that take part.
DETAILS ABOUT THE DAY;
Monaghan’s time slot to play in Croke Park is 9:30 to 11am and the tour of the Museum is due to take place from 11:30 to 12:30. The tour of the Museum will last approximately one hour and then we will be sitting down to eat lunch in the Cusack Stand.
The plan is to leave;
- Monaghan from Topaz Monaghan Town (across from St Macartan’s College) at 7.00am, stop off at Clontibret (Braeside Shop) at 7:15am.
- A second bus will start at Castleblayney (Faugh GAA Grounds) at 7:15am, with a pick up point at the Carrickmacross Emmetts GAA Grounds (Emmett Park) at 7.30am.
- Both buses are scheduled to arrive at Croke Park just before 9.00am
The return journey from Croke Park will commence at approximately 1:15pm. We estimate that we should be back in Carrick for 2.30pm, Castleblayney for 2:45pm, Clontibret 3:00pm and Monaghan for 3.15pm. The drop off points will be the same as the pick-up points.
Please be advised that these RETURN times are estimates and parents should be aware that the return journey arrival times are approximate.
In order that the players get full value for their day, will club officials and parents please ensure that all players bring;
1. Shorts, Socks & T-shirt or jersey (possibly club jersey or club colours), jumper & Football boots. Hurlers should also bring their helmet and hurl along with them.
2. Clothes to change into after the games
3. Packed Lunch for the day (there will be no food provided).
I have arranged enough people to help out on the day, so parents or people from the local club wishing to attend will have to make their own way up to Croke Park. Parking for Parents is available Croke Park Hotel & behind the Davin Stand car park.
Spectators are not permitted onto the Croke Park pitch at any time and will be restricted to the spectator accommodation in the stands only. Photographs can be taken from the stand. Opportunities for photos will take place immediately after the games have finished at 11am.
If anyone has any questions or queries about the day, please do not hesitate to contact Colin Malone on 087 7882859
