NO TO BOUNCY CASTLES! And donkey derbies, but apparantly cat racing is fine.

aircraft arent allowed either!

Seems like a perfectly reasonable note to me.

La na gClub is coming up in a few weeks. This is a day where clubs are organising a day in the local pitch to celebrate 125 years of the GAA. The day is meant to be a family fun type day.

This is just a note to clubs in Kerry letting them know the kind of activities that the standard GAA insurance does not cover.

We have had bouncy castles on our own pitch a few times, but it just means we have to get a bit of extra insurance for the day to cover it.

with all the red tape these days they are just covering their own arses

Abseiling or Rock Climbing or other dangerous activities

Have these people ever heard of Gaelic Football, it's like 20 times more dangrous than any rock climbing, yes even cage-match rock climbing,

Cage-match rock climbing was invented by the Saxon foe to crush our noble Gael spirit. Members of the failed Shrove Tuesday Uprising of 1909 were pitted against each other in order to determine who faced the firing squad first. All because they occupied a haberdashers and refused to leave until Home Rule was granted.

Bless those Patriots and curse your garrison deathmatch games.

yes because the gaa invented the irish equivalent of the word club :rolleyes:

I think this is because their public liability insurance doesn't cover them for people injured in such activities, leaving them open to litigation.

This would be in Responce to the ongoing controversy re: Castlemaine Milltown Gaa club which covers too village and they had two pitches in both but the GAA only utilised one while the other became like the village green and the GAA let things slide and Soccer had been played there except the GAA is going so well that they decided to assert there control over the field again and ploughed up the field where soccer was played during the night and effectivly booted out the soccer squatters and split the community and created almost civil war between the two villages.

Knitting communities my arse. I come from a big GAA family and played football until minor level.

I've seen the opposite of what you say about communities being knit together. People look out for those within the click
