Cúl Community: All-Club Event: 13 October
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
So, this was orignally down for 29th September, but then the Dubs only went and won 5 in a row, and scheduled their homecoming for that day. Then we moved it to the following Sunday, 6th October, but the Junior Hurlers only went and got themselves into a County Final, and we can't not support that (not to mention the Senior Hurlers in a County Semi Final!), so we've moved it one more time. I'm told this will be the last time it gets moved, so we thank you for your patience, and hope you'll give us great support. So, for the second to last time talking about it, here goes:
Cúl Community (13th October) is our annual Lá na gClub. It's a fundraiser but way more. It is giving us a chance to show our colours throughout our parish, and come together as one club.
First, here's a link to the Facebook event. If you're a facebooker, why not mark yourself as going to help to spread the word. Next, there's a dedicated page on the club website, so it would be good to get yourself familiarised with the day.
- The day will begin with a sponsored hurling/football/camogie relay through the parish. Put simply, teams will begin at various landmarks around the parishes of Fairview and Marino and each will make their way back to the club. The idea is to have a presence throughout the parish, with all routes leading back to St. Vincents. We'll be in our club colours and be visible everyhere! Here's a big PDF map with all the routes. Mentors; There are designated starting points for various teams, and we'll send out individual mails about these this week.
- Back at the club we'll have a BBQ, and there will be games for the younger members in the hall, we'll have a tuck shop and the bar will be open. The Mini Leagues will end the relay with a run across PNU2.
- A little later, but still early evening we'll have live entertainment in the club bar.
The hope is to get all members of the club together to celebrate our club and community, and to raise awareness of the club particularly amongst people who may be new to the area or have moved into some of the new housing developments in the parish. The sponsored aspect will also raise much needed funds.
Speaking of sponsorships: All sponsor cards that bring in more than €50 will be entered into a draw for a Vinnies hoody, and the team that raises the most sponsorship will also win a full set of Jerseys!
How can you help? I'm glad you asked!
Mentors: Spread the word. Ensure you team are raising funds, and bring big participation on the day. If you wish to add images to your whatsapp messages etc, they are available here
Parents: We need marshalls, help and participation on the day!
Players: This is our big club event, it will be great fun and gives you a chance to show your pride in your club.
There's some costs associated with running this day. If your company has a sponsorship or corporate and social responsibility fund, perhaps you could consider a modest sponsorship? Get in touch if you can.

Lotto draw 30th September
Jackpot was €4,900. Numbers drawn were:
09, 18, 05, 22
There was no online winner and no jackpot winner. Weekly winners were John Lambe and "Liam and Ciara" (c/o Kavanaghs). I'm sure Kavs know who that is!
Have you ever considered playing our lotto? Next week's jackpot is €5,050. Wowsers. 5 Gs. Sounds like something Vodafone would say. You can enter online here

Dub Club Health CPR Training
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Did you know, that 10% of people who learn CPR will use that training in their life time? And 50% of them will perform a procedure on a loved one. I think we can all agree that learning CPR, how to use a defibrillator and how to deal with a choking victim are great skills to have. As part of the AIG Dub Club Health initiative we are hosting two CPR classes on Wednesday 16th October. If you'd like to come along (it's free!) please sign up here. We have enough places for a mentor from evey squad. Wouldn't that be something? Here's a useful video about the training. Plenty of sign-ups so far, but also spaces available.

Mouthguards Research Study
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
We are delighted to be taking part in a research study on mouthguard compliance, and on the adequacy of mouth guards worn by children aged 9-16 playing Gaelic football in Ireland. This study is being carried out by Dr Elaine Shore, a postgraduate specialist trainee in Pediatric Dentistry at the Dublin Dental University Hospital as part of a doctoral thesis. The study is been overseen by Dr. Anne O’Connell, Associate Professor and Consultant in Paediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Shore and her team will be on site Thursday 3rd October to carry out surveys with players and parents on their use of the mouth guard.
Full details are available on the club website, including ethics and privacy statements. This project has the full backing of the executive and child protection officers.
Parents: we ask you to come along too, and sign parental consent forms.
Mentors: Please spread the word amongst your teams, particulalry if you are triaining on Thursday.
Folks: Unfortunately, turnout on this on Tuesday was low. Hopefully, we can get more there tomorrow. The survey takes 5 minues, and occurs in the committee room. Please and thank you!
