St John’s Notes 30th
January
Our
minors will the first team to take to
the field this year. Their league season
opens this Sunday (5th) with
a home game against Loughinisland at
12.00. Best of luck to our team.
Calling
potential David Baileys and Lord
Lichfields. We have a vacancy for a
cameraman or woman to act as club
photographer for the year. We’d like a
photograph each and every team that
takes to the field in
St
John’s
colours this year as well as action
shots. There could be job share
possibilities with this post – contact
Kevin McGlynn (1181 1876).
Senior
Presentation Night is this Saturday (4th)
in the clubrooms. Dinner will be at
8.30pm with Music afterwards by Divine
Harmony. Bernard Rice (4377 1207) may
have a few tickets remaining but numbers
are definitely limited.
Congratulations to Kevin Savage on his
selection to the Ireland Masters
International Rules panel. Kevin played
for Down Masters (over 40s) last year
and made quite an impact. He has been an
outstanding player for the club for more
years than he might care to remember and
this honour is richly deserved.
Paul Kelly will take on the post of
Senior Manager for the incoming year.
Shorty needs no introduction around
these parts having given many years of
service as a player. He is well
respected by the current players and
will hopefully give the team a further
push towards success this year.
Under-14 football training is on
Saturdays at 11.00am.
Under-16 and minor training is at
11.30am
on Sunday morning. Under-12 football
squad is on Sunday afternoon at 3.00pm.
There
is a course for prospective referees
starting on February 6th –
our game couldn’t go on without referees
so hopefully someone in the club will
consider contributing in this manner.
Contact Paddy O’Neill (4377 0927) for
further details. Paddy also has copies
of the Down yearbook for sale at £7.
Membership for 2006 is now due – the
fees have been set at £35 for playing
members, £15 for non-playing members,
£10 for minors, £5 for juveniles, £40
for families, and free for OAPs – please
see Registrar Bernard Rice (4377 1207).
The fees are the same for male and
female members.
The
lottery numbers for 26th were
2, 17, 20 and 22. There were 3 £10
winners and the jackpot now stands at
£1,350.
The
club will be holding a fund-raising Race
Day at Downpatrick Racecourse on Sunday
19th March so keep that date
free in your diaries. The Chevy’s will
be playing in the marquee after the
races so it promises to be an excellent
day out.
The
next poker night is on 10th
February with a £1,000 jackpot.
