1b. Dublin Mela this weekend at Corkagh Park - There is expected to be a good footfall for Dublin Mela this Satruday. Make yourself available this Saturday and join others in selling raffle tickets
2. Through your normal acquintance, friends family to sell more
3. From 1st week of September go around Adamstown and sell door to door
4. Sell during Friendly games (or even League games where opportunity is there). Put it out when you are serving tea and encourage visitors to buy tickets.

Highlights so far:
1. The Adamstown schools have promised to contribute towards the training facilitiy as you all know. 1st contribution has come from Esker Educate Together for 300€. 
2. Dada (Jit) has gotten another sponsor on board contributing 500€

#2. BLITZ TOURNAMENT
This years Blitz tournament will be on Sep 23rd Sunday. Gurdeep and Santosh will be leading the organisation of the tournament. Plan will be to field at least 2 teams from Adamstown. Be involved in the organisation of the tournament and in whatever way you can.
 
#3. TEAM EVENING
A team evening get together is being planned for Sep 29th Saturday. This will mark the end of season with dinner and awards and celebration.

#4 TRAINING
This year training has been very irregular and low attendance. While the weather is mainly to blame, lack of coaches is another reason. 

To overcome this IN 2013, we will get external coaches once a month say from April till September.
Say 1st Tuesday of the month training session will be conducted by this external coach
We will continue to invest on our own players for coaching who will coach the remaining sessions in the month
We will go back to one training day per week
This together with the nets should help improve players performance considerably.
