Urgent Appeal

Over the last couple of weeks there has been a big influx into the Juvenile section of the Club. On average there are now around 100 kids turning up for training each Tuesday. Carmel and her crew are a little overwhelmed and urgently need more helpers. She is looking for senior athletes to help out on a Tuesday from 7-8pm between now and Christmas.If you are interested and would like more information please get in contact with Carmel at This email address is being protected from spambots.
