See attached 2 documents, one is a actual form, one is the guide.

Mark has filled in the generic info (it’s important we all apply as underage coaches as this covers us all to coach from U6 – U18′s ). Please do not change what is already filled in in this part.

Once the forms are complete, the need to be returned to your head coach or to Mark Rabbett, Bernie McMonagle or Brid Moore, by 31/01/2012.

These forms apply to all coaches and also anyone who is in a support role that has contact with kids in the club. This could be helpers at the summer camp, fun day’s or even parents that help out with transport etc.

As you will see from the letter, it is now a requirement by law so please encourage any club memeber that may be in this position to complete a form and apply.

Charlene Griffiths

Passed To Her Eternal Reward

14/01/2012

Ar Dhéis Dé go Raibh a hAnam Uasal

It is with great sadness that CLG Bhriain OIg Bhaile Stil announces the untimely death our Ladies Captain, Underage Coach, Former Cultural Officer,and exemplary Gael, “Charlene Griffiths” at the young age of 27.
Charlene was a life long member of our club and participated in all aspects of club life both as a player and administrator. She also represented the club at both junior and senior Scor.
Charlene was a past pupil of Thornhill College where she developed her love of the Irish language through the inspiration of Fergal McGuigan, and also a graduate of the University of Ulster where she studied the Irish Language. Up to the time of her illness she was a Bunscoil teacher.

Charlene will be sorely missed not only by her colleagues at CLG Bhriain Óig Baile Stíl but also the wider GAA community.

Volunteers Needed

The club is looking for volunteers who would be willing to give some time to help with coaching in our local schools. This would involve helping the coaches who are already in the schools to promote Gaelic football and our club. We also would like these people to assist with setting up some local school blitzs. If you think that you can give up a couple of hours during school time at any stage between February to June contact Dominic at brianogscoaching@ hotmail.com or let any coach within the club know.  Those interested should have the Child protection &Foundation courses. This would be of great help for the club’s development in this important year, as well as individual development.
