Dear Parents/Supporters/Players 

Toomevara GAA Club in response to the community evening’s suggestions and in reviewing safety have decided the following and we ask your support in its implementation. 

A ‘pole barrier’ will be set up at the corner of the front toilet block to prevent vehicular traffic going towards the back field and bank. This will generally be up and lowered only on specific occasions determined by the committee. 

(This would occur such as if there is a match in the main field and those who need to go the far bank are allowed drive there whilst training is still going on in back field. On such occasions we would hope to have the barrier monitored) 

We recommend parents to park outside and allow players to walk through the small black gate towards the fields. (Generally there will be no traffic in the walkway). There is no safety benefit if you drive into the grounds and cause congestion in front of the clubhouse. Please try out the new plan and if you have any suggestions after the trial period send them to us. Instruct players to remain inside the grounds until you collect them afterwards if you are not waiting. 

This change is required for safety of our children and all players. We have looked at a variety of options and taking account of the specific conditions in our grounds have decided this is the best way forward. All who enter our grounds should exercise the utmost care and remember that pedestrians always have the right of way. Observe speed limit 10km also.
