GAA 125

[Stall the Bailer]

The GAA at central and provisional level and the media (some good and some like the Late Late) have had events with more to follow.
However on 10th May (I think that is the date) the GAA have set this aside as a club day. I was wondering what everyone here was doing to celebrate this anniversary or what your clubs are going to do?

I don't think we have finalised what we are doing but we were hoping to have a fun day (bouncy castles etc.) and maybe an inter townland tournament for the grown-ups.  I'd be interested to hear what other clubs are planning.

Shouldn't we have a GAA Discussion Board 125 Day?

The chairman of a club in Dublin told me that they could not get insurance cover for having a bouncy castle at their childrens day last year.  I wonder has this now changed?

Any bouncy castle supplier should have their own insurance.....been down that road before.

The GAA at central and provisional level

Has the split occurred or has Cork Co Board set up its own organisation?

I was at a meeting the other night where the sec. of cavan county board said that bouncy castles can't come onto a GAA grounds due to insurances issues...

I know but apparently that's official policy.  Sometimes I think you're better off asking for forgiveness rather than permission!!

No idea what to do for this but I feel our club (as should as many clubs as possible) be doing something??? Any ideas past the obvious exhibition games etc?

Hopefully the compo culture is not as bad north of the border as it is down here

Well spotted 

I know our club had no trouble with bouncy castles in past. Just make sure that they have their own insurance.

Yeah, we've been told the same and received it in offical correspondence.
