Supporting Nenagh Eire Og’s Development
The planned development of MacDonagh Park has been well highlighted over the past number of weeks and months and we are delighted to be in a position now to get the ball rolling on the first phase of this which will be to raise the funds to construct the new Hurling Wall with an AstroTurf pitch.
This phase will be funded by donations where donors can avail of the Tax Exemption scheme and over the next number of weeks members from all areas of the club will be driving this fundraising and seeking donations for this exciting project.
We are hopeful that the work on the Hurling Wall will start once the current restrictions are lifted with a completion date of June/July. We have been very fortunate over the years with the support we have received from all people associated with the club and community and we are now asking once again that you please get behind us and help us get this exciting project off the ground.
Your support as ever is greatly appreciated.
If anyone wants further information on this phase of development/fundraising please contact Liam Heffernan, Mary Jo O’Reilly or Anne Kennedy.
Our Brochure, inserted below, provides all the information on the Development Plan and the planned phases for the different projects. It outlines the predicted cost and the proposed funding for each phase and gives a breakdown of how the Tax exemption scheme works. You can also get an idea of how the jigsaw puzzle due to be mounted in the Complex will look!!

Membership
Membership for 2021 is now due and while the deadline was extended we are still asking that all our players and supporters please pay their membership now.
Foireann is the new GAA registration system and while membership should still be paid through Clubforce or to any Committee member, members must set up their own registration on Foireann.ie.
Please follow the steps below to complete this registration process:
1. Go to foireann.ie. If you have previously used the Returntoplay system from last year, your existing username and password will work. If you have not used Returntoplay, you can register a new profile.
2. You will then be sent an email by Foireann to the email address you used to register your account. Click the link in this email to verify your account.
3. This link will bring you back to Foireann where you fill in the remaining details to your account.
This must be completed by all our members ASAP but in particular by our players who will not be covered for Injury support unless they have completed this.
Follow the link below for an instructional video on how to sign up.
With the return to training starting for juveniles at the end of April and hopefully all other groups in May, it is important that all players, both juvenile and adult, look after the paying of their membership in the coming weeks.
Condolences
We extend our sympathies to the family of Shane Middleton who passed away last week. Shane, who grew up across the road from MacDonagh Park, played juvenile hurling and football with the club and continued to support the club down through the years.
We also extend our sympathy to the family of Joe Starr who passed away last week. Joe’s shop in Mitchell St in the town was well known as the place to get your club and county colours over the years.

JUVENILE NEWS
Club Development
We have all heard about the proposed club developments over the past few years. We are now embarking on a hugely exciting journey within the club as we convert the proposed developments into reality for our members particularly our juvenile groups who are the future of our great club.
Behind the scenes club committees have worked tirelessly to progress this development journey for the club. Developments include the new hurling wall with Astro turf, new floodlit grass pitch, dressing rooms, 2.5km walking track, etc. Full brochure is attached above for your information, please have a read through the information brochure to inform yourself about the plans. The overall development will cost circa €1.3m. There is huge positivity in the club that we, together, can achieve all we have set out in the planned roadmap for our club. Achieving our road map for the club will require massive support from everyone connected to the club and all groups are being asked to support as much as possible.
The first phase, being the development of the hurling wall, has commenced and hoped to be completed by June. This will be a significant step forward for NEO juvenile club and will benefit for our boys greatly at their young age. Over the coming days/weeks nominees from the juvenile arm of the fundraising group will be in touch with all juvenile families seeking your support in realising this vision for the future of our great club. Your support is very much appreciated and it will assist in ensuring our children have the best facilities available to them for years to come. There will be huge amount of grant’s available for later phases and when complete we will have a facility as good as any club in the country.
Similar to other clubs that have taken on such a large development, the first phase is to look for donations from our members and supporters. As the club is a registered charity it can claim back €666 for every €1000 donated by PAYE workers. Donations in excess of €250 will qualify for this tax rebate and will also see your family name placed on a Club Development Jigsaw which will be mounted in the clubhouse. All donations big or small will go a long way to achieve this fabulous development. Your support is greatly appreciated, Ní neart go cur le chéile.

The lotto has always been one of our main fundraisers and with our upcoming club developments it is of vital importance to us now that everyone continues to row in behind our lotto and we continue to increase the online subscriptions to our club lotto. Ní neart go cur le chéile.
Membership
Club membership is now due and can be paid either via Clubforce or to any committee member. All families are asked to complete registration with www.Foireann.ie as soon as possible if you haven’t done so already. Details of how to complete this process have been shared via the various juvenile WhatsApp groups. Your co operation in getting these registrations complete as soon as possible is greatly appreciated.
Return To Play
We are all very much looking forward to returning to training in the next few weeks. We will let everyone know what days we are training once it is organised with the field committee.
Please encourage the boys to practice when they can over the next few weeks. There are a huge number of boys nationally that struggled for motivation in all sports over the past few months and we are very conscious of this and will be very mindful of the boys. We hope every available boy will return and hope to gain extra boys as well.
It’s a very exciting time for the club with huge developments taking place in the field at present. When the boys return to training they will see all the work going on for the hurling wall and astroturf which is anticipated will be completed by the end of June.
