To Move Club Or Not!

(Oldest Posts First)

Probably a discussion for some of the older members here!

So when I got married, I moved to a place about 10km from where I grew up. I continued to play for my old club until I retired. Then the kids arrived, went to the local school and joined and play with the local club. I help out and eventually joined the new club as a non playing member through the family membership.

Now, I see some other parents who also are 'blowins' who bring their kids to their old club and basically never leave it. Eventually you have generations of kids playing for a different club than the locality they live in!

Now I get the whole GAA club ethos but is this not pushing it a bit?! Would love to hear opinions on it!
