Folks,

Brussels G.A.A. was formed a number of years ago, catering for organised Hurling and Camogie and some ad-hoc Gaelic Football. The onset of the 2008 season saw the club take some significant decisions:

1) Changed the club name to Belgium G.A.A. to appeal to a wider audience (Antwerp, Leuven etc)
2) Set up as an “asbl” non-profit in Belgium
3) Relocated to the Military Pitch to makes ourselves more accessible and purchase full sized portable goals
4) Added organised Men’s and Ladies Gaelic Football
5) Developed a new website (www.belgiumgaa.com) and club branding dedicated to all sports

The season is now up and running for one month. The Hurlers have already hosted and competed well against a team from Ireland. The Camogie girls participated in and finished runners up at a tournament in London. Ladies & Men’s Football are training hard despite the disappointment of a couple of canceled tournaments. Despite less play than anticipated, the Men’s Football team can celebrate their first victories over Amsterdam and Maastricht. And the new website is up and running, has had over 1300 hits, and is complete with photos of all the latest club and sports events.

We are approaching 50 Members this year and expect it to increase further. With the season now up and running, we would like to invite you to our first club night out of the year, details below.

Location: De Valera’s, Place Flagey

Date/Time: April 12, 8pm

We hope you can make it out; and of course friends and family are invited as well. All current and prospective members are welcome, even if you haven’t been able to make it out to training or have yet to submit your membership form to Becky.

Best Regards,

Belgium G.A.A. Committee
