50 Years of Memories

We are currently trying to source old photos from the club also including memorabilia from events, matches, programmes, newsletters etc. The time frame we are focusing on is from 1973 onwards before everyone had a camera at hand! If anyone has any items that they would like to share with us, we would greatly appreciate anything of interest as we are trying to create a collage of memories from the past 50 years of our fantastic club. Thanking you in advance. We are aware these items are of sentimental value to families, so we will only be requesting copies of photos, the facility is also available to scan newsletters/Programmes etc. if required. The originals will always be kept by the owners. Any enquiries/items can be emailed to pro.stpatricksblennerville.kerry@gaa.ie or for collection of items Sharon 0879712665, Irene 0871233254
