Ballymac Logistics & Activities for Féile
Our club is likely to see in excess of 300 visiting players, parents, mentors & supporters on the Friday evening and the Saturday morning. Most of the parents of players on the three Ballymac teams are housing pairs of visiting players over the weekend and will be busy dropping and picking up both their own kids and the players from the visiting club throughout the weekend. As such they won’t be available to help out with car parking, stewarding and all the ancillary things that go hand in hand with an event of this size.
We want our visitors to leave having had a great weekend as our guests. It’s the Feile committee wish that we give them that good experience and we won’t achieve that without the help of Coiste nOg parents. If you are available for any part of the Friday evening, or Saturday morning, and want to be part of a very historic weekend. Please text Fionnan Fitzgerald on 087 9860441 to volunteer. Meetings to take place this week with host families to discuss the schedule for Feile.
