Healthy Club Conference – On Saturday 20th October, the annual Healthy Club Conference was held in Croke Park. The Healthy Club goal is to make GAA Clubs a hub for health and wellbeing in their community both on and off the field. Melvin Gaels were represented by Katherine Williams and Mary McSharry who are on the Melvin Gaels Healthy Club Committee. A key feature of the day-long event was the unveiling of the inaugural Healthy Club Heroes – a list of 23 club volunteers from across all four provinces who have gone over and above in their dedication and implementation of the Healthy Club project, and who have been nominated by their communities for special recognition for their hard work. Congratulations to Katherine Williams who received one of these awards. Awards were presented by Dublin footballer, Brian Fenton. The Healthy Club Conference was hosted and facilitated by Colin Regan GAA Health and Wellbeing Manager.
