New book seeking GAA stories from Keel
NEW BOOK: Keel GAA Club members are preparing a new book seeking GAA stories. Pictured from l-r were: William Evans, Ailís Murphy and Brendan Griffin.
Work is underway on an exciting new book telling the story of Keel GAA Club from the perspectives of the people who make up the club.
The aim of 'Keel GAA Club, Stories from Our People' is to capture what the club means to the many people who have been involved in any way over the years, both on and off the pitch.
It is hoped that the book will be brought to publication later this year, including contributions from as many people as possible with connections to Keel GAA Club.
The initiative is being spearheaded by three of the club’s members, William Evans, Ailís Murphy and Brendan Griffin.
William Evans says that they are looking for a broad range of contributors.
“Players and members past and present, men and women, volunteers at every level, supporters, sponsors, Scór participants, referees, umpires, sandwich makers, grass cutters, ticket sellers, our global diaspora, new residents of Keel all are welcome and encouraged to contribute," he said. "We really hope that people will get involved and we want this to be a book for everyone.”
Ailís Murphy says that contributing couldn’t be simpler:
“We are providing a list of questions and asking people to answer any or all and return responses by email to keelstories@gmail.com or by private message to our Facebook page by Sunday, July 19 with as much detail as people would like to give. As an additional option, we are asking people to look through their photo collections and select any images, old or new, that they would like considered for inclusion in the book, preferably including a photo of themselves. Where possible, we are also asking people to include details of the image, such as names, date, location and the name of the photographer.”
Brendan Griffin TD said that this book is a celebration of the people of the club as well as being a fun way to record some of the club’s history.
"All proceeds from the book will go towards the future development of Keel GAA Club," he said. “We would greatly value and appreciate as many responses as possible from Keel people everywhere and we look forward to producing 'Stories From Our People' later this year.”
