[Thanks You.]

Sorry for this shameless plug but... Our clubrooms have been nominated as one of the top 10 sports projects that have been partly funded through the National lottery scheme. We need as many people as possible to vote to make it through to the final. We are the only nomination from the provience and i would ask you all to please vote. Below are some more details:

The Beragh Red Knights Sports Pavilion has been nominated as one of 10 projects to make it through to the Semi Finals of the National Lottery Awards 2009.

We have been recognised in the Best Sports Project category under the title 'Community Sports Pavilion' for the work being done to unite all the community by providing structured activity classes and events throughout the year at the pavilion.

In launching the campaign for support and votes, club Chairman Gerard Treacy said: "We're delighted to have reached this stage of the National Lottery Awards. Lottery funding has helped us to develop and grow, making a real difference to young peoples' lives and we're really hoping the public gets behind us and votes!"

Voting for the semi-finals has started and ends at midday on Friday 10 July.  The three projects in each category with the most number of votes will go through to the finals of the Awards and another round of public voting later in August. We would appreciate if you could follow the below link and register your support for the club.

This is a great honour for the club and we appreciate all your support. Please encourage everyone you know to register their support to help the club through to the final of these prestigious awards.

Thanks You.

[Special Area]

All i am looking for some help and hope you can help me.

I have been told of a pass called 'SEANOIR VETERAN PASS' issued by the ulster council that allows ex-county players that are now OAPs into Car Parks etc.

I have contacted the Ulster Council and they say that they have never heard of the initiative, however i have got a copy of one of these passes (issued in 2004) and it clearly states that it is an ulster counci pass. can anyone please advise if this is still in operation and who do i contact to get one issued?

The text on the back of the pass says:

Comhairle Uladh, C.L.G.
This is to certify that bearer
<Name>
(<County>)
is entitled to admission
to Special Area at all games
organised by the Ulster Council in 2004
EXCEPT WHEN SETATS ARE BOOKED

I am interested in upgrading an existing computer (about 2 year old 512MB, 60GB Hard Drive nothing impressive). I have formatted the harddrive and now i am looking to install an operating system but i am unsure as to go with Windows Vista or Linuxs' Ubuntu. (I don not have enough memory to partition the Hard drive and Istall both)

For all you techies out there i was wondering which you would recommend.

I have been using windows OS for approx 10 years and have limited knowledge of Linux, but from comparison articles i have read they are relatively similar but linux is free and offers all their own free software. Anyone out there using ubuntu that can tell me what its like.

Cheers
