RETURN TO TRAINING AND CLUB MEMBERSHIP (UPDATED)

We are delighted to announce that Juvenile training for existing members, both primary and post-primary, will be returning next Tuesday, April 27, at Gaelscoil Liatroma on the Castlecarra Road .

First and foremost, anyone who wishes to train next Tuesday MUST be a fully registered and paid up member of the club for 2021. If you have already paid membership, you are fine but anyone else must do so before they can return training for insurance and health questionnaire purposes.
 
Thankfully, renewing or joining for new members has never been easier as this year we have moved our registration system to the Athletics Ireland Online Membership System which means that our members will be able to renew their memberships from the comfort of their own home.
 
The link for the new Club membership portal can be accessed HERE
 
This new system will allow members access their membership details, update those details if need be, have access to their membership number and enter national championships through the portal if they wish.

Our membership fees for the 2021 season are as follows:

• Juvenile (U20 on December 31, 2002) - €28
• Senior/Masters - €35
• Juvenile Family (3 or more) - €70

 
There are several ways of renewing your membership or applying to join the club.
 

2020 MEMBERS

For existing members, the club will send out a membership link via email to any club members whose email address is inputted into the system. Simply follow the link attached and pay your membership depending on your age category. 

If you do not receive an email notification from the Athletics Ireland Membership system, contact Club Secretary John Connolly at connollyjohnb@gmail.com and provide your email address and a renewal notice will then be sent out.

If you need your membership number to complete your membership but do not have, contact John Connolly at connollyjohnb@gmail.com and we will send it on to you.
 

FORMER MEMBERS

Depending on when you were last a member of the club, your details may still be stored in the system. If you they are, follow the steps as outlined for 2020 members.
 

NEW MEMBERS

For new members, the process is a bit simple. Simply click onto the following link HERE and follow the instructions, an application to join the club will be lodged and approved by the club.

One note, we are NOT taking any new members aged 8 in 2021 until the situation becomes clearer regarding the Covid-19 situation. We do not take members younger than this age.

RETURN TO TRAINING ON TUESDAY, APRIL 27

We are back training on Tuesday, April 27, at Gaelscoil Liatroma on the Castlecarra Road but we must all remember that we have to do everything we can to combat Covid-19 and to ensure the health of our members, officials and their families.
 
That means we are only allowed to train in groups of 15 and everyone who attends training, athlete or official, must complete a health questionnaire before doing so.

We have organised a WhatsApp group for parents of athletes so that we can distribute a weekly link to a health questionnaire for each child attending each training session. LINK: HERE 

This is an essential part of our plan to return to training in a safe environment so we would please ask that all parents please fill out the form with their phone number to enable WhatsApp group messaging as soon as possible if they have not already done so.

The following are the training times and days for each age group:
