Oisín Nuachtlitir na Samhna Halloween Newsletter www.glenariffeoisins.com www.northantrimgaa.com

Welcome to this special Halloween edition of the Oisín Newsletter. The season is now over for another year, however lots of hard work is still going on in the background in the club. The AGM is coming up soon along with the Annual Award Dinner presentation. The club is continuing their work with the Club Maith award and have also entered for Scór Na nOg and hoping to enter teams for Scór Sinsir. The ‘Friends of Glenariffe’ are working extremely hard to sell tickets for ‘The Big Draw’ all of which is part of the exciting new development proposed for 2015. Oisín CLG is indeed a vibrant club and continues to grow from strength to strength. This could not be possible without the help and hard work of the dedicated committee members and managers and of course the continued support from you the community. Once again a huge thanks to everyone who helped out in any way this year. Your help is invaluable to the club. I hope you enjoy this edition of the newsletter and I will update you all at Christmas with any new issues.
