Club Notes Week 19 2020
11/05/2020
COVID 19 our pitches are in pristine conditioning mainly due to the complete lack of activity. we are now entering our 9th week without a ball been kicked our sliotar pucked. The government statement of May 1st gave a glimmer of hope that activities could resume on May 18th on a phased basis with groups of 4 returning, unfortunately the directive from GAA last week ruled that no return before July 20th and the Admission by Association President on the Sunday Game confirmed that date and stated that games will not return while Social Distancing is enforce. Unfortunately this means another prolonged TV viewing of Eastenders and Coronation Street.
The Club Executive wish again to remind all players the Players Injury Fund is currently suspended and you are not covered during the present Pandemic.
Our weekly Lotto & Bingo are currently suspended and are under regular review will be resumed when current restrictions are lifted.
In the meantime stay safe and follow the guidelines

DARKNESS INTO LIGHT Dr Crokes' Healthy Club Sub-Committee, under the chairmanship of Eamonn Fitzgerald, organised for club members to support the Pieta House/ Nathan's Walk/ Darkness into Light campaign.
Members walked for at least thirty minutes over the weekend and made a donation. A large number kept with the tradition of a dawn walk in several locations around Killarney. Others did their walk during the day. Then we had members from around the world linking in and sent in photo's that can be seen on Dr Crokes' Facebook page. This was a great way for club members to work together for a good cause, while still apart.
MEMBERSHIP is now overdue and may be paid online. Registrar Frances O`Sullivan wish to thank all who availed of this facility and asks that anyone having a problem to contact her. Membership can be renewed on line visit drcrokes.com/news. Follow the links below to renew membership.
