CLUB'S
50TH ANNIVERSARY
June
2006 - The
Gala night was an outstanding success with
over 300 patrons in attendance. Great to see
so many people travel over from Ireland to
mark the Brendan's fiftieth year
celebrations, which goes to show what the
Brendans club means to so many people.
There
were a number of special guests, including
Benny Tierney (All Ireland winning
goalkeeper with Armagh and a renown guest
speaker). Other photos from the night are
located in the photo gallery.

May
2006 - A

London. Below are the results.

Celebrations
(September 2005)
2006
will see our club reach its fiftieth year in
existence. This is a significant landmark in
any club’s history and we are intending to
celebrate
this milestone with a variety of events and
activities.
However,
nothing has been planned yet and we are
seeking your help. Among the ideas discussed:
1. the putting
together of a book to commemorate the club’s
history to date.
2.
the organising of a pre-season tournament
involving teams from Ireland.
3.
the holding of a ‘Sportsman’ dinner dance
complete with an auction of memorabilia and
guest speakers.
4.
a trip abroad to possibly participate in a
tournament e.g. Madrid.
5.
having a match between the 1994 championship
team and the 2002 team.
If
you have any other ideas to put forward,
please let us know and more importantly, if
you would like to be involved in helping to
commemorate the year in any way, then please
let us know.
