1603X PROGRAMME PLUS 250316
PROGRAMME PLUS – VOLUME 1, NUMBER 3, MARCH 25 th , 2016 It seems the time has flown by since the last edition of Programme Plus, and you are all very welcome to the third issue. In particular I want to say a special hello to eight-year-old Jerry O’Connor who plays with the Clooney-Quin club in Clare and who loves his G.A.A. facts and stats according to his mother, Niamh. Jerry has brought the average age of subscribers tumbling down, and it’s great to see one of the younger brigade showing such an interest. Make sure to keep all of your match programmes safe Jerry, and I hope you will enjoy a lifetime of collecting! The constant highlighting of this bulletin in Allianz League programmes is paying off, with new addresses being added to the list of subscribers week after week. At this stage the number of recipients has more than doubled since the first issue, and that’s a fantastic boost. It’s important to note that there’s no right or wrong way to be a collector; all of us have our quirks, and it’s rare to find two collectors with the exact same approach. Some like to operate under the radar, while others are more vocal and ‘out there’. Whatever your modus operandi, never forget that it’s a hobby first and foremost, to be enjoyed in whatever way you see fit; and whether you’re a long-established collector or a newcomer, this information bulletin is for everyone and all are welcome.
