CLUB AGM: Friday February 5th:

The Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Club AGM 2020 will be on Friday 5th February 2021 @ 8.00pm. Unfortunately, in these strange and unpredictable times due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the club cannot hold the AGM in the traditional way. This year it will have to be held on Zoom, as per Croke Park, with only the executive in attendance. Any nominations /motions please forward to the club Secretary – Mike Carroll, Kiltallagh, Castlemaine Co. Kerry or secretary.milltowncastlemaine. kerry@gaa.ie – before 5pm on Friday 22nd Jan 2021. We would ask you, in the interest of everyone, to refrain from sending in any motions for this year. Prior to the AGM, the Chairman’s Address, Secretary’s & Treasurer’s Reports, Nominations, Motions and Ballot Papers (if needed) will be sent out to all full members. Any queries arising from the reports can be forwarded to the Secretary and the club will endeavour to answer them within five working days after the AGM. If there are any club members in your household, please share this information with them. Any queries, please contact our club secretary, Mike Carroll on 087/2256548.

Gym/Pitch Closure: No Entry/No Exceptions

Given the current exceptional rise in infection rates of Covid 19 and the increased risk of community transmission, our government and Croke Park have directed that club pitches and gyms must stay closed until further notice. Under the current Government Regulations, neither training nor games are permitted at club level. We are appealing to everyone to please adhere to this ruling and not to enter the grounds until you are allowed to do so.

ENTER THE 2021 NATIONAL GAA CLUB DRAW ONLINE: https://www.idonate.ie/raffle/Milltown-Castlemaine-Draw.

Around this time of year, we would generally be out and about selling tickets for the National GAA Club Draw, with the club here in Milltown/Castlemaine receiving the full proceeds of each ticket sold. With fundraising events curtailed due to Covid-19 restrictions, money raised will help with the day to day running of our club as well as assisting in financing other elements of our ‘Field Development Project’ including our Community Walking Track around the perimeter of the grounds.

There are some fantastic prizes up for grabs including a Renault Clio Car, an All-Ireland Final Package incorporating two Premium All Ireland Final tickets and a two night stay in the Croke Park Hotel and a variety of cash prizes up to €2,000.

To keep in line with guidelines to help reduce the transmission of Covid-19, in particular our contacts with people, we are making the tickets available  online. Tickets can be purchased by clicking on the following link https://www.idonate.ie/raffle/Milltown-Castlemaine-Draw at a cost of €10 each. The draw will take place on Wednesday, March 10th, 2021.

We would like to thank you in advance for your valued support.
