Carraig na bhFear Juvenille GAA Club AGM   Venue: Scoil an Athar Tadhg Date: Friday 5th December, 8:00pm The Annual General Meeting of Carraig na bhFear Juvenille GAA will take place on Friday night, 5th December in Scoil an athar Tadhg. The importance of this meeting cannot be overstated. We have found it extremely difficult to get more adults to become involved in the juvenile club.  This is going to lead to problems as the existing officers, trainers and selectors bow out.  If they are not replaced, parts of the juvenile club will lapse.  There are various ways people can help out, from training/selecting teams, to texting players, writing reports of matches for the www.carraignabhfeargaa.com website, helping with gear, becoming an officer of the club etc.  We badly need new adults to get involved.  Too often people are prepared to criticize those in charge of teams but refuse to become involved themselves.  Without new people coming on board, much of the momentum of the juvenile club will be lost, and the future well-being of the adult club will obviously be affected. In 2008, the following successes were achieved: Under Twelves: League winners, hurling Under Thirteens: Championship winners football Under Fourteens: League winners, hurling Under Fifteens: Championship winners hurling. We also reached a number of other finals, and were unlucky to come out on the wrong side of the result in these. As the saying goes, every little helps, and every hand involved lightens the load and makes it more enjoyable for all, Parents and Children alike. We are appealing to you as the parents whose children are benefiting from the voluntary work of the existing officers and mentors to get involved in helping the juvenile club continue to thrive, if you feel you have something to offer, no matter how small, then why not give it a shot? If you are new to the area and considering getting involved, you are especially welcome to attend. Rockbán win County Senior B Championship Title 30/11/2008 Congratulations to Rockbán on their fabulous success in the Cork County Senior B Camogie Championship on Sunday.

We are appealing to you as the parents whose children are benefiting from the voluntary work of the existing officers and mentors to get involved in helping the juvenile club continue to thrive. The medal presentation will take place in Scoil an Athar Tadhg on Thursday November 20th at 8pm. Please come, and be prepared to offer to give us a dig out in the coming year.   Michael O'Donnell,  Chairperson.
