SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB UPDATE

The last few months have continued with the pace of the rest of our Anniversary year in the DFBSSC, and we have had a lot of sporting and social activities and events to enjoy.

Social Media

We have been busy with our social media platforms all year, and our concert giveaways throughout 2022 have proved to be very popular. Lucky participants won tickets to a wide range of shows and events, including concerts by Bryan Adams, AnneMarie, Dua Lipa, e Script, Westlife and Ennio Morricone, as well as family events such as Circus Extreme and e Night Sky at Malahide Castle, and several GAA xtures.

ese social media giveaways will continue into 2023, so check out or platforms to be in with a chance of winning some great tickets.

Monthly Draws

Our monthly draws to win great prizes continues as always, and details of the winners since October are included at the bottom of this page.

Christmas Party

It was great to see our Christmas Party return this year, and the photos included in the pages of this issue show how much fun it was for all who attended.

Thanks

As ever, none of what we have done this year as the Sports and Social Club would be possible without the hard work of the Committee, whom I would like to thank for bringing all this together. It’s very much appreciated by all. Keep up the good work. I’d also like to express my thanks to all of our members for their continued support throughout this busy year. We hope you have enjoyed all that we have had to o er.

Should you have any ideas or suggestions for the Club, please bring them to your Representative who will bring it to the next Committee meeting.

Tommy Doyle

Finally, I would like to thank Tommy Doyle for his service to the Club. Tommy has been an integral member of the Club since the beginning, and was featured in the last issue of Firecall as our retired members’ pro le. In more recent years, Tommy has been a representative for the Retired Members Association on our Committee, and has decided that this was his last year in the role. On behalf of the Club, I would like to thank Tommy for his service and dedication to the Club over many, many years. His experience and knowledge will be greatly missed at Committee level.

anks and Happy New Year to all.
