Warwickshire G.A.A. - Memorial Garden

The Memorial Garden at Parc Na h’Eireann is taking shape. It only remains for the inscriptions to be put on later in the year

Prior to the recent Warwickshire G.A.A. Convention ans annual Mass for deceased members, the Warwickshire G.A.A. Memorial Garden was centre of attention while a brief ceremony took place to bless the Memorial.
Fr Tim Burke from Emly, County Tipperary gave the blessing while around 40 members of the G.A.A. representing clubs from throughout the county took place. Fortunately the weather was fresh but dry, allowing the Blessing to proceed without difficulty or discomfort.
Since we last referred to the Memorial Garden in The Harp a surrounding fence has been installed along with a Celtic Cross which sits on top of the Memorial itself.
The final stage of the project will see seating being put in place and the inscription of the Memorial. It is anticipated that a decision on the inscription and the names of deceased members to be entered thereon will be made at County Board meetings early in the year. A formal "opening" ceremony will take place once the facility is completed
