VOLUNTEER APPEAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2014 Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g catered for over 400 active members (170 juvenile, 225 adult) and in 2015 we hope to grow that number. Crucially, however, we are not simply interested in developing our playing population. We are also interested in attracting volunteers who are interested in becoming coaches with the club and administrators of the club. <\/p>\n

Here at \u00c9ire \u00d3g we appreciate that not everyone can train a team, that not everyone is interested in coaching and that not everyone has time to attend committee meetings. That said there are plenty of very practical ways in which you can help your club work hard for the betterment of the local community, our children and our cultural heritage. <\/p>\n

We therefore encourage anyone in the community who supports the club and who is prepared to give of their time on a voluntary basis to get involved so that fresh faces can bring fresh ideas forward. If you take that brave first step over the threshold, we guarantee that you will not regret it. So, if you are interested in lending a hand drop us a line – contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all identify with our own place. My place is Nenagh and I respect every man who is from every parish in Ireland who is identifying with his home. That\u2019s the breeding since the world was made. I see the club as nothing only a way of giving our locality an airing on the public stage. It gives the youth of our town an opportunity to play our games. That\u2019s what I see our club as\u201d – Jimmy Minogue<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n

JUVENILE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g will be running a GAA camp for beginners for four Saturdays in February beginning on the 7th from 10am to 11am at the MacDonagh Park complex. This free ‘\u00c9ire \u00d3gres’ programme is perfect for boys born 2008-2010 to help improve their hand-eye coordination and agility in a safe and fun environment. No equipment necessary. Tea and coffee will be provided for parents. The boys will be presented with a cert and a special \u00c9ire \u00d3gres T-shirt on completion of the course – call or text Shane (087 637 3830) or Catherine (086 085 5165) for more information or to register before January 31st.<\/p>\n

Parents and mentors will be contacted soon regarding the juvenile flag day on January 31st. Please give an hour of your time for this important fundraiser.<\/p>\n

CAMOGIE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Registration Night:<\/strong> There will be a registration night for all Camogie players in MacDonagh Park this Friday, January 23rd from 6pm to 8pm. All players are asked to make the effort to attend and register for the year.<\/p>\n

Sympathies:<\/strong> We wish to extend our condolences to the family of Peggy McGrath following her recent passing. Her son Liam and daughter-in-law Kate have been fantastic supporters and administrators of the club over the years while her granddaughters Ciara, Alison and Becky have all played Camogie for Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g.<\/p>\n
