WINDOWS 7: OUT OF DATE AS OF JANUARY 2020

indows 7 will be out of date as of January 14, 2020 at which point support and security updates will no longer be offered by WMicrosoft. Why should I be concerned? You will still be able to use your computer after this date. The main issue is that Microsoft will no longer provide security updates. These updates are typically released every month to fix vulnerabilities that are being used by hackers. Without those updates your computer will become an easy target to new viruses and malware. In addition, over time certain applications may no longer work with this version of Windows.

How do I know I have Windows 7? The version of Windows is usually displayed as the PC starts up.

Another way to find out which version of Windows your device is running is to: 1. Press the Windows logo  key (typically located on the bottom left on your keyboard) and the letter R together 2. In the Run window that appears, type winver and then select OK.

This article provides more information on how to find this information: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13443/windows-which-version- am-i-running

What should I do? If you have Windows 7 installed on your computer, you should contact your IT provider and discuss options for upgrading your operating system. Windows 10 is the current Microsoft Operating System. The following page from Microsoft provides further information and some options https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/help/4057281/windows-7-support-will- end-on-january-14-2020

GAA PROGRAMMES HELPING ELLISTOWN TO DEVELOP

Ellistown GAA continues to prepare for the future. The Ellistown Under 14 team enjoyed a productive campaign in 2019 That is why the Club Leadership Development Programme and Club Planning Programme are supplying valuable assistance according to Ellistown secretary Ger Arnold.

Currently in the initial stages of forming a plan for Ellistown in Kildare, Arnold acknowledges the significance and guidance provided.

“We are currently starting a five year development plan, it should be between three and five years, we haven’t finished the finer details, but the level of support is good,” Arnold says.

“A lot of clubs have already done what we want to do so what we are finding is we are able to reference different projects from different clubs, who went down the development route with facilitators.”

It is something which has struck Arnold in clubs to look at what they have achieved. the CLDP which strives to benefit new and facilitators for the different counties.” recent years, the willingness of people to existing officers. “I’m lucky in the sense that share information and help. “There is a lot of talk of money in Dublin I sit on the CCC in Kildare, the secretary is The role of officers on executive and the bigger clubs having the money, Petria Dobbyns, who is the Development committees has altered dramatically and “Without doubt, the knowledge is there this and that, but we were able to reference Officer for Kildare,” Arnold states. that means the CLDP’s offerings carry and the support is there,” Arnold adds. “Our clubs the same size as ourselves, small rural importance. biggest problem was to get people to buy clubs to see what they have achieved.” “I have first hand knowledge from her, the into it. Having clubs local to us we were able information is there and it is a matter of “Without a doubt, typically your secretary’s to say to our members we could reference That is why Arnold stresses the benefits of pulling the teams together and utilising the role was correspondence,” Arnold replies. Football Hurling Club General

“That was it. Times have changed, even the GAA has changed, it isn’t necessarily just about a football match now. It is about greater community spirit.

“We have people there who mightn’t have kicked a ball in 50 years, but they are still there at every meeting. If you ring they are the first ones to answer. Again probably an example of that, I got a call maybe six months ago from Carbury GAA.

“They were offered by to put a playground in on their facilities. We had got one maybe a year and a half beforehand, they asked me about it, how it was working for us, and asked would I talk to a few of their older committee members.

“Their opinion was why should we be putting this in, it was nothing to do with the GAA, that they wouldn’t benefit from it. So I went, met a couple of them and said it isn’t necessarily about a match at 6 o’clock on a Saturday. It is about the community as whole. They have a clubhouse and I asked them what is on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The answer I got was Bingo on a Monday, this on a Tuesday, that on a Wednesday....

“Out of the five nights they had something in their hall that had nothing to do with GAA, but it has to do with the community. The community aspect has come into it more.”

Ultimately Arnold is satisfied that the Planning Programme has aided club officers in Ellistown. “Yes, it definitely is effective,” Arnold remarks.

“We are at the early stages so we haven’t drawn up the final plan of what we want to achieve. Our next stage is going to be an open meeting. If we have 100 people there we will get them into groups of 10 tables and hit them with questions that we need answers for there and then.

“We don’t want them thinking about stuff for two or three weeks beforehand, we want to catch them on the fly to get as honest an answer as you can get.

“That is something I have taken from a couple of meetings we have had A gym and fitness centre is currently in Kildare GAA in terms of fixtures analysis, stuff has been developed being developed by Ellistown GAA through the GAA and we can take it back to club level.” Football Hurling Club General

The hurl might be in there too, bearing a few chips and cracks, the scars of Championship battles from a former life. The helmet has a bit of rust around the guard, but is still good to go.

hen Hamburg GAA club- member, Sebastian ‘Sebi’ Rießbeck, took his own life in 2016, it was a hammer- Wblow for a young club that had only been founded a year previously.

But, from tragedy, has come a very positive legacy.

That will be very apparent at the Irish embassy in Berlin tomorrow when 13 European GAA clubs will take part in an International Mental Health Awareness Training Course coordinated by Hamburg GAA.

It’s the latest in a number of positive initiatives Hamburg have undertaken to ensure that the emotional wellbeing of its members is a priority for the club.

Sebastian Rießbeck’s name will be remembered every year the European Camogie Cup named in his honour is contested, but perhaps an even more meaningful legacy is the ethos of caring for one another that his loss has fostered in his GAA club.

“When ‘Sebi’ took his own life it was very noticeable the effect it had on the club and individuals within the club,” says Hamburg Happy Hamburg GAA club members pictured with silverware including the Sebi Rießbeck memorial cup GAA club’s Healthy Club officer, Owen Wheeler.
