Registration: Thanks to everyone who has renewed their membership for 2024 so far: your continued support is appreciated. GRMA to our new registrar Claire Ní Dhufaigh for her efforts. It is essential that all players at each grade are registered in advance of training commencing. Míle buíochas.
Ireland Lights Up: Ireland Lights Up has returned to Monaghan Harps GAA Club and will continue each Wednesday through January and February. Participation is entirely free of charge and suitable for all the family. Registration starts at 7.15pm in the clubhouse foyer. Every walker needs to register on a weekly basis for insurance purposes. Although our route has lighting, we recommend wearing high-vis clothing and carrying a small torch. We will have plenty of volunteers and a fantastic group of walking leaders present every night to ensure a safe and fun event for everyone. Thanks as always to Healthy Club Officer Úna Forde and everyone involved.

Clubs that achieve 4,000 km will go into a draw to win €2,500 for their club; we are over three-quarters of the way to reaching that goal, with the challenge running until February 12.
Schools: We wish good luck to all our young players currently competing in schools' and third-level competitions.
