The Kickhams GAC annual St Stephen’s Day Cycle/Walk/Run started off in extremely cold and wet conditions last Thursday. But for the hardy souls that turned out, it was a fresh and fulfilling experience.

•

The cyclists set off for a 20-30 mile journey at half 11 and as soon as the large group of walkers and runners set off at 12 o’clock around the planned 5k route, the rain stopped and it was a very enjoyable half an hour for everyone.

• 

• 

Tea, coffee and refreshments were ready in the clubhouse as soon as everyone finished with the cyclists and joining the walkers and runners to thaw out.

Over £800 was collected on the day for the chosen Charity NIKPA – NI Kidney Patients Association, which helped Kickhams club member Darrell Martin earlier this year.

The club would like to thank everyone for once again being so generous and supporting a very worthy cause and wish all their members and wider GAA family a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year moving into 2020.

On Sunday 15th December from 10.30am to 1.30pm, Kickhams GAC and Creggan Primary School hold the Annual joint club and school Christmas Party event. This year all parents, grandparents, guardians, aunts, uncles, friends, sisters, brothers, cousins and guests have been asked to please join them.

During the event, Santas Grotto will be in place, coffee & cake will be available and if you want to pick up some playing or leisure wear for yourself or for a child, the GAA Swap shop is returning for another year.

Santa will be prepping his book in the grotto and his elves will be ready with the coffee and cake. Join in on the festive community craic, its always a fantastic event.

All your support is greatly appreciated and they look forward to welcoming you all to the Primary School on Sunday.

Swap Shop 2

The Swap Shop is returning after its success last year at the Annual joint Christmas Party Event. All funds donated will go straight to the Saffron Gael providing extensive coverage of GAA, events and much much more for all local communities across Antrim and they want to show their support and appreciation by doing their part to help maintain their status and help them with running costs.

Swap Shop 2 is for trading or swapping old or unused gear that can go to another local family with young children starting to play or practice for 2020.

Look in your house and if you can swap or trade any of these items then please bag them and bring them along: boots, gloves, socks, shorts, jerseys, helmets, trainers, hurling & camogie sticks, hats, scarves, jackets, skinnies, hoodies, Thermals, playing balls and anything else that may be unused or you think could benefit another family or child this Christmas and new year.
