Toddler Group Closed For Mid Term

As most of the primary & secondary schools are on mid term break for the whole or part of this week we have decided to close the Balrothery Baby & Toddler Group this Friday, 17th February.  We will re-open the following Friday, 24th February, as normal. 

For further information please contact Grainne on 086 174 1872.

Balrothery Co Op Meeting

You are invited to a 'townhall' type meeting on January 25th at 8pm in the Heritage Centre to discuss
establishing the ABCD Co Op.Association for Balrothery Community Development( ABCD Co Op ) which will be a business owned by the community through open membership based on the 7
principles of Cooperatives. It will be focused on developing the Balrothery ‘brand’ as a premium
Tourism/Heritage location and local art/craft supplier. By being a community owned and operated
brand, business stays local and profits stay in the village. ABCD Co-Op will facilitate the potential for
grant/funding applications from Rural Leader and other avenues.

If you support this proposal but can’t make this meeting, you can send
your name, email and text number to mrgaryrutherford@gmail.com to register your support in
advance.
I believe such a Co-Op is the best vehicle to drive a targeted campaign and bring about the
coordinated improvement of our village as an amenity for ourselves and our potential visitors.

Gormanston & District Anglers open to new and lapsed members

 

A very well attended Gormanston and District Anglers AGM was held on the 18^th of January in The Balrothery Heritage Centre. Ray Mooney club chairman  (pictured) addressed the meeting and reported that even though the club had an excellent year with our lake fishing extremely well and number  of our juniors getting International recognition  and senior male and female anglers doing well in Provincial and National competitions. The membership of the club was down on previous years. The G D & A was no different than every other club and organization in Ireland and were  presently suffering because of the economic downturn and emigration.

 

It was therefore decided at the AGM not to increase the 2011 renewal fees and to maintain them at 2010 levels.

It was also decided to introduce a new family membership which allows one senior and as many juniors for a set fee of €160.00 per year

Also due to falling membership arising from emigration and the downturn in the economy, that an amnesty for lapsed senior members would be introduced. This amnesty would be available until the 31-3-2011.This amnesty would basically allow lapsed members to rejoin the club, regardless of how many years they had not renewed their senior membership fees. Lapsed members would be reinstated as full members with a once off payment of €30.00 plus this year's renewal fee of €100.00. This does not apply to juniors/disabled and OAP, who only have to pay the present renewal fee.

The AGM also decided to reduce the new membership fee by €55.00 to encourage more uptake.
Renewal fees for 2011 season are now due details on club website: www.gormanstonanglers.com or on the club's Facebook site.

The club are also very happy to announce that the new 2011 " Last Man Standing " promotion will be starting soon with a prize fund of €300 for the winner again details can be found on club website

FEES for 2011

a.     €100 Senior Member (no change)

b.     €50 OAP (no change)

c.      €30 Junior (no change)

d.     €160 Family (no change)

e.     €195 New Member (reduced from €250 – to be marketed as €100 for membership, and joining fee of €95)
