A reminder that club membership is due for the coming year. This membership costs 20Euro for singles & 30Euro for families of 2 adults & 2 minors. This can be paid to club registrar Declan McEvoy or Niall Price. This is one of the cheapest if not the cheapest club membership in the county. Any players not paying membership this year will not be eligible to receive compensation in the unfortunate event of loss of earnings due to injury etc! Any previous non-members in the locality are more than welcome to join. Membership also entitles people to priority in attaining tickets to Offaly matches through the club.

Walking track
