History & Centenary
In preparation for our upcoming centenary in 2020 the club has formed a History and Centenary Sub Committee. The aim of this committee is to investigate the long and illustrious history of Thomas McCurtains GAA Club, document it and form a comprehensive collection of documents detailing the Club’s history. If anyone would like to join the committee please contact Richard Ellis on 07803 519 394
The focus for this year is to conclude the research, compile the information and make it available to all members. The collection of articles, photos and other memorabilia is a priority. There are many past members who have a wealth of knowledge and memorabilia and we would love to hear their story. Anyone with photos, information or a story to tell is asked to contact Richard Ellis above or send it to [email protected] Any information would be great to hear.
