GAA CHAMPIONSHIP COLOURS DAY
There will be a GAA Championship Colours Day on Friday May 16th. This is to help promote the up-coming GAA championships. All schools are asked to inform the children and staff to wear their County GAA colours or Club GAA colours to school on the day. It is just a GAA initiative so soccer and rugby jerseys should not be permitted. Please take photos on the day and send them to pro.cnmb.tipperary@gaa.ie and I will send them on to the PRO of the Munster GAA Council, who will put the photos onto the Munster GAA website.
EQUIPMENT SCHEME EXTENDED
The Tipperary Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Equipment scheme is still open for the following equipment only: Helmets, leather sliothars (size 3 and 4), hurling gloves, hurleys (size 26, 28, 30, 32), indoor and synthetic hurleys, size 4 footballs. All information is available on our website regarding prices etc, (see 2014 equipment form) and was emailed to all schools in January. All Go Games sliothars, ordered and paid for, will be delivered by courier service. Tipperary Allianz Cumann na mBunscol regrets any inconvenience caused by the failure of our supplier to deliver the Go Games sliothars on the equipment night. Regrettably a few schools failed to turn up for equipment collection. This equipment must now be collected from Jerry McDonnell in Clonmel. His address is 25 Ballingarrane, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. His phone number is 052-61-21431. The equipment can be collected at any time but please ring him beforehand to arrange a time for collection. Some schools have still not paid the 30 euro registration fee for the calendar year 2014. This registration fee must be paid immediately. Send a cheque, made payable to Tipperary Allianz Cumann na mBunscol, for 30 euro to: Jerry McDonnell, 25 Ballingarrane, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. Please send this immediately, if you haven’t already done so. We know exactly which schools haven’t paid and we are asking them to pay the obligatory fee without delay. Please co-operate on this matter.
