Lotto

Due to the direct message of social distancing from the authorities and possible further restraints on movement, the Executive Committee have taken the unprecedented step to suspend our weekly lotto. Our utmost goal is the health and wellbeing of our members and community. All tickets currently purchased will remain valid for when it restarts and the jackpot will be £4,000. As works are ongoing around the grounds it is imperative that we increase our Cairde membership. All coordinators are asked to liaise with Seamus McMahon. All new members welcome. Many thanks for your continued support. Seamroga Abu. K. Boyle, Chairperson.

Walkway

Due to the most recent directive by both governments and taking Public Health advice, the GAA have issued guidance on 25 th March that supersedes any earlier guidance, and have instructed GAA clubs to close ALL of their facilities COMPLETELY. The GAA have therefore suspended all insurances including Public Liability and as a club we are not in a position to allow access to our walkway to the public. The Executive Committee of Roslea Shamrocks implore our community to follow all guidance around practising social distancing, to support one another and to self-isolate if you present with any symptoms of this great pandemic. We will issue further guidance regarding our facilities as directed by the GAA. K.Boyle, Chairperson.

Club Activity

The GAA has decided to suspend all activity at club, inter-county and educational levels due to the Covid-19 Virus. This is to include all games, training and team gatherings at all ages and all grades. In the meantime, the Association is encouraging all members to continue to follow the guidelines which have been provided by the health authorities. If members are feeling isolated please contact a committee member and we will try to help in any way we can, we urge all our members to stay safe in the days/weeks to come.
