The club will be holding its registration night and disco at the Park Hotel on Friday the 2nd March 2012. The registration will commence at 6pm and it will be followed by a disco at 7pm. Medals will also be presented on the night to the successful boys U14 team (East Mayo U14A Champions) and the ladies U16 team (County League Champions).  Due to increased costs and falling income the Club have had no choice but to increase the membership fee for juveniles to €50.00 per child for the first and second child, but subject to a maximum of €100.00 for 2 children or more.  This year the affiliation fee payable to the Ladies County Board for the girls is €32 for Under 10s and €47 for 11 to 18 year olds. Rather than charge for buses like other clubs do or cut the buses out altogether for certain matches, the Club felt it was better to continue to provide this transport free and therefore we have to maintain the membership fee at a level to balance all these costs.

Long standing Club member and winner of the Club's Hall of Fame in 2011, Michael Charlton, passed away on Monday morning 6th February 2012 at Mayo General Hospital.

Deepest sympathies to Claire, Ciaran, Aine and Mairead and all the Charlton family.
