EDITOR’S NOTES

Six months after our inaugural issue, and with the hurling season well into swing, it is surely time for the "Emmets Review" to re-appear.

Our first issue was something of a 'trial run',  but we were well pleased with its reception.   Most people thought it a good idea, while the worst criticism we heard was that the cover was the best part of it.     At any rate the first issue is now out of print and those who still have a copy should preserve it, for who can tell that it may not become valuable!

As promised, there will be a charge for this issue, but at 5p it is surely beyond the reach of no-one.

This issue will be  more or less on the same lines as last time. No articles have yet been presented for publication but we would still welcome them.

ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION

lt was decided at the Annual Meeting to ask  those interested in supporting the Club to contribute £1 annually and become members of the Club. This is more essential than ever this year, in view of the fact that the Weekly Draw is no longer held. To date, sixteen people have subscribed. This is certainly not a very encouraging start when one considers the number of hurlers alone that we have.

This year already, we have spent:

There are new toilets installed at the Strand House which still have to be paid for. The new jerseys are not included, as they were paid for out of a different fund, but it is quite easy to see that much expense is involved in running the Club, and now with teams in two Divisions of the County League, that more money will be needed.

The number of methods of  raising money open to us are very few, so we appeal to all you hurlers and   supporters to come up with your subscriptions soon.
