Youth Needs in Balrothery
Youth Needs in Balrothery
Do you have teenagers that constantly complain of having nothing to do? Are you tired of not knowing if
your son or daughter is socialising safely? Would you be happier to know that there was somewhere
they could go to meet with their friends in a safe and supervised space. Foróige can assist in providing
such a place for young people aged 12 and over.
The Foróige club in Balrothery has run successfully for the past two years. It provides a place for
young people to socialise in a safe environment and get involved in fun activities. The club allows
young people get involved in organising their own activities and gives them the opportunity to
achieve for themselves. The club helps young people gain valuable skills and gives them the chance to
grow in confidence.
The club relies on adults from the community to volunteer their time to assist them in running
the club. Without help and support of adults the club cannot exist. Unfortunately, the club does not
have enough volunteers and therefore can no longer continue. We urgently need more adults from the
area that would be willing to give an hour of their time on a Wednesday evening to keep the club open.
The club is not only for young people, says Bryan Gavin, Youth Officer with Foróige. Adults can also gain
a lot from being involved. Not only are you helping the young people, it is also a great way for you to get
involved in your community, meet new people and give something back. Don’t wait for others to do it,
everyone has something to offer. If you are interested in finding out more, then come along to our
information meeting on Wednesday 1st April at 8pm in the Heritage Centre, Balrothery. Further
information is available by contacting Bryan at 086 8519639 or email bryan.gavin@foroige.ie

The Wavin Lake will be closed on 1st of March for essential works & re-stocking. We will be re-opening on the 17th of March St Patricks day.
There will be a senior competition and junior competition on the day, and the prize for the heaviest junior fish will be a fly starter kit. The prize for heaviest senior fish will be a fly rod valued at €150. The competitions are fly and spin ( no boats ). Entrance fee for senior members €5.00, Juniors are free.
The club have issued an invitation to Balrothery National School to come to the lake on Friday the 6th of March for a field trip. Over 60 kids and teachers will be taking part. This will be at 1pm and we would like as many members that are available to come up and help us on the day. Anyone else that is interested in joining in on this educational visit should contact rayban@indigo.ie
The Delvin River re-opens on the 1st of March and the G D & A will be holding our first competition of the 2009 season on the Delvin on Sunday the 8th. All legal means allowed. The competition begins at 2pm and will run for 2 hours. Meeting at the pool from 1.30pm.
The committee have set a target of May 2009 for the new boathouse, obviously this is dependant on the membership we receive. In next 2 months the club will have 2 x stocks completed of large +2 year old fish into the lake. We also intend to run the Easter junior competition as normal with Easter eggs for all junior members who show up, date to be announced.
