From 7.30 p.m. - 9.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 27th February, Bray Emmets will host a Go Games Young Referees Course. Refereeing Go Games involves propagating the Principles of Fair Play. This is achieved through application of the rules and, in particular, those that relate to sportsmanship and respect for the opposition, the match officials and the game. These are exemplified by the rule that the player returns the ball to the opposition 'on the full' after committing an offence. Officiating Go Games also involves guiding and coaching the players through each game by highlighting good example and promoting respect for all involved. As a Participation and Play initiative, Go Games provide an ideal opportunity to introduce young volunteers to Refereeing in a gradual and progressive manner. To this end, Go Games can be refereed by Under-12 Referees who have completed the Go Games Young Referee course. The course aims to provide participants with knowledge of the rules of Go Games and an understanding of the Principles of Fair Play and the Role of the Referee. Further details are available from Garrett Doyle 083-4357460or garrett.doyle.gda.wicklow@gaa.ie.

Dublin, 27 July 2011: Placed ball specialists Bryan Sheehan of Kerry and Paul Durcan of Donegal took time out in advance of the eagerly anticipated all-Ireland Football Quarter Finals this weekend to launch the 2011 MBNA Kick Fada competition. They were joined in Croke Park by members of Bray Emmets GAA club and MBNA and current record holder Mark Herbert from Kildare where they issued a challenge to GAA players from both club and county to take part in the 2011 competition and break the Kick Fada distance records which now stand for a decade. The Kick Fada records which stand at 73m for men and 52m for women were set in 2001 by four-time MBNA Kick Fada Champion Mark Herbert from the Ballyteague GAA Club and Suzanne Hughes from Ballyboden St Endas GAA Club in Dublin. Over 20 inter-county stars are expected to accept the record-breaking challenge and take part in the 2011 competition, which takes place in Bray Emmets GAA Club on Saturday, 10 September. Speaking at the launch, Suzanne Holmes, communications director, MBNA, outlined the challenge facing 2011 competitors, "Breaking the 10-year record will be a considerable feat for any player.

Garrett Doyle is orgainsing Peil Abu on our 3 G pitch next Thursday and our club needs to support this initiative. We would appeal to you all to give the game a try and bring along a friend next Thursday. If you know any former players let them know about this 'new game' and ask them to give it a go. As part of the Nationwide initiative by the GAA to increase GAA activity in the larger towns, Garrett Doyle, Wicklow GDA ,is organising the new GAA Recreational Game, Peil Abu. Peil Abu is non-contact form of Gaelic Football. It is open to men and women aged 16 years +. Teams can be mixed between men and women. It is a great way to stay fit and healthy as it is a very active game. If in possession of the ball and an opponent removes your tag you have to transfer the ball over. This results in lots of movement, turnovers and excitement. There will be a game(s) next Thursday night 14th July from 7pm until 8.00pm on the Bray Emmets 3G pitch on Old Connaught Avenue. All are welcome to attend. Please come along and give it a try. It is open to everyone, club and non club members.

The club is also organising a monster GAA Auction for the same day as the Field Day on Saturday 18th June. This novel way to raise funds for club activity has two great advantages… it means members and friends donate something which they don't need and they only buy other items, normally at bargain prices, if they need the good or service. Anyone who is interested in helping with the sourcing or delivery of items should ring PJ Cunningham at 086-8217631. The club is seeking any unwanted new items which may be surplus to households. The committee is also hoping to source a celebrity section with such items as signed jerseys or books or other memorabilia. The organisers would also like to build up an array of auction promises such as baby-sitting , car washing, ironing, guitar lessons, computer classes, aromatherapy sessions, gardening, painting and decorating, use of holiday home, Leaving Cert grinds (on 11th hour approach to English or Irish essays). The list really is endless. Everyone can do something. The list so far....

Saturday 18th June will see a Community Field Day in the Club. The Field Day, which will be held in association with Bray Cancer Support and Bray Lakers, will bring a fun and social element to the Club's grounds on Old Connaught Avenue by opening them up to the wider community. It is hoped to replicate the 'old fashioned' country community's field day. It's a day for meeting friends and neighbours, people you met last week and people you haven't met for years. So if you know where we can source prizes for the various stalls, gazebos for the stalls, and willing workers on the day - lots of willing volunteers, or have more ideas that will add to the day's success, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH, DON'T BE SHY! We are now looking for lots and lots of people to help make this day a great success. It will only work if we all work together. If you feel you can help in any with the activities please contact Conor Johnson Field Day Launch The picture below show the launch of the Bray Emmets Community Field Day in conjunction with Bray Carers and Bray Lakers.
