SAM MAGUIRE COMES TO BONNICONLON!
Ahead of what promises to be a very exciting and historic day in Bonniconlon next Sunday, as we welcome the Sam Maguire Cup to our club and community, please see attached the planned Running Order and Photo Times for the day.

We ask everyone attending to please take note of the following:

Family Photos
If you are a club member with children involved in the club, please note the allocated times for family photographs. We ask parents and families to arrive in good time for their published slot so that we can keep the day running smoothly and on schedule. Alongside photos from your own phone, a club photographer will be present for the afternoon.

Queuing & Stewarding
A dedicated queuing system will be in place and managed by club stewards throughout the day. As requested by Mayo GAA, the club will adhere strictly to the schedule and guidelines for photographs.
We greatly appreciate everyone’s cooperation with our stewards and ask that the guidelines are followed to help ensure a safe, enjoyable and memorable occasion for all.

Parking
Please note that there will be no parking available at Bonniconlon GAA grounds on the day.

Club Members & Wider Community
As we anticipate that a large number of club members will be accommodated during the designated family photo slots, we have included a dedicated time at the end of the schedule for all remaining club members and members of our wider community, particularly our elderly members.
We want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to have a photograph with Sam Maguire and to be part of this very special occasion for Bonniconlon.

Persons with Disabilities / Reduced Mobility
Persons with disabilities and those with reduced mobility will be accommodated for photographs from 4.30pm onwards. Club stewards will be available to provide information and assistance as required.
We look forward to welcoming everyone to what promises to be a historic and very special day for Bonniconlon GAA and our entire community.
