Club Competition: With the summer holidays just around the corner we have decided it’s a great time to have a photo competition. The prize will be a year’s family membership for 2015 for one lucky family.
We are going to spread the Seneschalstown gospel across the world but need your help.
We are looking for photos of our juvenile members on their holidays wearing their Seneschalstown gear. The photo can be taken in Bundoran, Barcelona or Boston ……
Another option would be to take a photo at a famous landmark such as Buckingham Palace!
So get snapping and send the photo in via a Private Message to our Facebook Page. The draw to decide the lucky winner will take place on the first Saturday in September during the Seneschalstown Nursery.
Seneschalstown GFC Golf Classic: Our Annual Golf Classic will take place in Royal Tara on Friday July 4th. Entry for a team of 4 is €200. To book a team or for further information contact Alan Geraghty (086 8265528).
