Walking Track
The recently upgraded and extended walking track around the perimeters of the three pitches in Buffers Alley is ready to go with club officials awaiting the green light from Croke Park informing us of the date that we open the gates. It is expected that clubs will be allowed to open for 4 hours per day with walking in one direction only starting at the hurling wall side.
Membership is now open to new members. If you have already subscribed for 2020 to the player, family or social membership your walking fee is included. For all those subscribing for the first time, social membership for 2020 is €30 or €50 for a couple. This facility will be lit up in the coming months and is a welcome addition to all those wishing to exercise in a safe environment. A big thank you to all the volunteers who made this happen.
If you have not subscribed yet for 2020 you can or pay online at ClubForce http://clubforce.com/clubs/gaa-buff or dowmoad the ClubForce App. Alternatively contact Chairperson Cate Donohoe on 086 8382566.
Charity Fundraiser
On Sat. 20th & Sun. 21st June Buffers Alley will hold a club based charity fundraiser where all players, members (present & past) families of underage and supporters are encouraged to commit to doing a run/walk/cycle in their Buffers Alley colours (if possible) to complete a virtual 'Trip to Croker' together. The hope is that altogether as a club we will cover over 1,300km. This distance is the equivalent of 6 trips up and back to Croke Park, a fitting reminder of our club's achievement of winning 6 All-Ireland Club Finals: 1 Hurling, 5 Camogie.
We would everyone to text on their kilometres on the day and send in pictures of their activity in Alley gear for social media while observing social distancing.
Most importantly there will be a donation Go Fund Me page set up & all monies raised will go towards two charities: our local based branch of St. Vincent de Paul (St. Machain, Kilmuckridge & Monamolin) and the Mental Health Association Aware. Families could incorporate this fundraiser into celebrating Father’s Day. All support greatly appreciated.
