Club Notes (June 15th 2020)

2020 FIXTURES LIST

This week the Co Board will be reviewing a draft fixture plan from the start of August up to October as outlined by GAA headquarters, so we will have a return to play before long. With some GAA Cúl Camps expected to go ahead in July, it looks like Club Championships will be the first competition at the start of August with Co and District Championships continuing from there. The complete fixture list will be released when all details are confirmed, with a return to inter-county training on hold until September 14th and inter-county championship confirmed for return on October 17th 2020.

CLUB REGISTRATION REMAINS OPEN ONLINE

Registration for 2020 remains open online here for the moment. Anyone who has not registered yet is asked to do so as soon as possible before the club re-opens shortly. With limited access to GAA grounds going forward, only registered members/players will be allowed to access the walking track, playing pitches etc as all persons on the property will need to be signed in and out with certain checks on arrival and departure. We will announce shortly a date for re-opening for members.

SHARE THE POT

Last Friday, Spa held the first SHARE THE POT draw and congratulations to Kieran McCarthy, Muckross Drive, who shares €420 with the club. This new draw will continue over the coming weeks while our regular lotto is still suspended. Tickets are available online and are €10 each to enter four draws (€2.50 into the pot for each draw). Every fortnight the club will draw a winning ticket and that person will share the pot with the club 50/50. The next draw will take place at 8pm on Friday June 26th and if your name isn’t in yet, tickets are available online on spagaa.com or contact Club Officers to get your name in. **The usual Spa Lotto remains suspended for the foreseeable future and the expiry dates of annual tickets and online tickets will be extended to compensate for weeks when Lotto is not held.
