A thank you from Michael 
 
I would like to send my thanks to all the people in Borrisoleigh for their cards and gifts on my retirement. I would like to express my thanks to all the people who worked so hard to make it a great night in the Community Center, all the musicians and singers, caterers for the lovely refreshments provided.

Borris-Ileigh GAA Notes 

Senior Hurling: Well done to our seniors who had a great win over Burgess on Saturday evening in Nenagh on a scoreline of 0-17 to 1-13. The result sees us finish third in the group, losing out to Drom on score difference. We have however retained our Senior A status for 2016. We play Templederry in the first round of the North Championship on Saturday evening in Dolla at 7pm. As always we hope to see you there to support the lads
Junior Hurling: Our Junior B team play Lorrha in the next round of the junior league on Sunday morning. The game throws in at 12:30 in Lorrha. Best of luck lads.
Track Attack: Best wishes to the Track Attack team as they embark on their “147” fundraiser. The funds raised will go to the upkeep and further development of the track which include widening, extra lights and an extension of the track to 1 mile. We ask that all people support this fundraiser as the track is a huge benefit to the community and we would to stay providing such a great service to the parish, but it is only with your help that we can do it. There are now cards available and we ask people to support generously. We are asking people to guess the time it takes a team of 18 to run 147km.

Golf Classic: The time of year has rolled around again and we are now preparing for our now very successful annual golf classic. Over the last two years we have had around 100 teams take to the fairways each year for two days of very enjoyable golf. This year the event will take place on June 12th and 13th. A team of 4 will cost €120 and tee boxes will cost €30. Tee box times can now be booked by contacting Martin Fahy on 087 2608780

Tipperary Draw: The time of year has come around again to renew our Tipperary Draw subscriptions. This is a great fundraiser for both the club and county and has fantastic prizes on offer with 2 cars being given away every month along with cash prizes. If you are renewing or entering for the first time please contact TF Stapleton or Joe Kennedy

Borrisoleigh Active Social Club.

Recently a new club was formed in our parish called Borrisoleigh Active Social Club. While this club is called Borrisoleigh Active Social Club we could welcome people from our surrounding parishes.
It is open to men and women and hope to meet once or twice a month. Our main aim is to arrange social events, educational options and activities which encourage and support retired people to remain as active participants within their community. For us to succeed we are encouraging people to join us. Membership for this year €10.

By becoming a member you qualify for discounts in many shops, hotels and health services nationwide.  We are organising a trip to the Nicholas Mosse Pottery Factory in Bennetsbridge and continuing onto the Arboretum Home & Garden Heaven in Leighlinbridge Co. Carlow.

This is being organised for Tuesday July 14th so if you or any of your friends would be interested in this trip/or want more information please contact any of the following committee members: Lucia Ryan 0863961211, Fiona Max 0872169150 or Eileen Slattery 0879849848 on or before June 23rd so we can make final arrangements.

We are also hoping that a group from our club will visit the Templemore group in the next couple of weeks.
