Borris-Ileigh GAA Notes
Walking Track: We would like to inform people that dogs are now banned from the new walking track and field as a number of people have being refusing to clean up after their dogs. We regret to have to come to this decision but a number of people have made complaints about the amount of dog dirt on the walking track and we had to take action.

Membership: Membership can now be paid to secretary Gerry Treacy or registrars John Bradshaw and Martin Fahy. We ask all players to have their membership paid as soon as possible as they will not be considered for selection without it. Please make contact if you have not paid your membership or you would like to join as a first time member

Tipperary Supporters Club: If there is anyone wishing to join or to re-join the Tipperary Supporters Club please contact TF Stapleton. The cost is just €30 and comes with a number of benefits regarding the Tipperary hurling set up.

Hearing Voices Support Group


HEARING VOICES?
“Hearing voices is a normal, though unusual human experience. Hearing voices makes sense in relation to personal life experiences. The problem is not ‘hearing voices’, but how we cope with them. People who hear voices can cope with these experiences by accepting and owning their voices” (Intervoice, 2013).

Join our weekly ‘Hearing Voices Group’
First Meeting: Thursday, 27th February 2014 7-9pm
In Colaiste Mhuire Co-Ed School, Castlemeadows, Thurles, Co.Tipperary

The group will give people the opportunity to talk freely about their ‘voices’ and to share what works, and what doesn’t work. Talking about how we can live life with ‘voices’ helps with the fear and isolation often felt, and replacing that with knowledge and understanding encourages people to find the meaning in their own ‘voices’.
Would you be interested in coming to this group to share your experience?
If so contact 0504 27617/086 8396292 for further information.
Joint initiative run by Service User and the North Tipperary Community Mental Health Services, St. Mary’s Health Centre, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
