(A message sent to all users of St Malachy's Sports Facilities)
"Subject: St. Malachy's College Pictch/Sports Hall Facilities Reminders
Dear User,
As an ongoing process, the committee at St. Malachy's College regularly meet
with local residents groups. Recently we met with the Lincoln Avenue
Residents Group. As a result of this meeting a few issues have been raised regarding the use of the pitch and sports hall facilities at the college. We would appreciate if you could take these issues on board and bare them in mind on each occasion that you or your group use the facilities.

       Speed - The area in and around the school is a very populated area
and therefore small children may be around. We would ask that speed be kept
to a minimum along :-(incoln Avenue and within the school grounds.

      Noise levels - As the facilities are open to 10pm each night, we
would ask that noise, both entering and leaving the College grounds, be kept
to a minimum to ensure that the residents are not disturbed unnecessarily.

      Litter - Please ensure that if you/group have any litter, that it
is disposed of appropriately in the bins provided around the site. Please do
not use the street.

Although the facilities are in place for the enjoyment of the users, the
residents will contact the PSNI with details of any person(s) leaving St.
Malachy's College who do not adhere to the above. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind users of a few rules that apply to the use of the facilities.
1. The pitch supervisors must be respected at all times. Any user found
to be verbally abusing the supervisors, may be putting their slot at risk.
2. All users must not be on site any sooner than 15 minutes before
their slot commences. This is to help with traffic congestion and health and
safety.
3. All users are asked that they respect other users' property. Any
deliberate events will result in the loss of your slot.(For example
deliberately kicking a football into the car park - This is quite simplistic
but it has happened on a few occasions).
4. All users are reminded that they and/or your group should remain
outside the gates of the facility (in case of the pitch) or outside the door
(in case of sports hall) until the time your slot commences.
These rules were outlined in the 'conditions of use' document which you
signed upon application for use of the facility and this email is merely a
reminder of that information. Any comments on the facilities, positive or negative should be directed to me, Barry McNicholl
bmcnicholl781@stmalachys.belfast.ni.sch.uk'bmcnicholl781@stmalachys.belfast.ni.sch.uk.
Thank you for your time and I hope to be in touch soon.
Regards
Barry McNicholl
Facilities Coordinator"

"Hello, Mr. Shiels:   Over here in BC, Canada I have just chanced upon your club website's page about the Chimkhola Village fundraiser.   It's an odd coincidence because my local Rotary club on Vancouver Island, BC has only just started working on a joint project with another small Rotary club in Pokhara, Nepal to raise some funds for the Chimkola Village School! We are assessing the needs - Rotary won't fund any building construction, but most other things we can cover.   Anyway, I will be there in spirit on Oct 12 as you all hike up the Cave Hill - back in the Sixties I went to school in Belfast, and before that I grew up partly in the village of Ballykelly, Co. Derry, N. Ireland. I am now a lawyer on Vancouver Island.   We are working with the Nepal Education Fund (NEF), a small charity based here, whose founder (Susan Marshall) travels to Nepal on a regular basis. She will be actually there in later October for a couple of weeks, partly in Chimkola. She says she has heard out there of an Irishman who married a local lady in the Chimkola area. I presume that would be Ian Brown!   Susan's Nepal blog is at http://www.nepaleducationfund.blogspot.com/"

" Has to be Fisher! Cant believe it. No self respecting Liverpool man would wear the kit of the present European and English champions, but maybe he is a closet Man Utd fan!"

"That King can ramble on seriously [i wonder where he gets it from? take your pick] he mentioned Ennis well thats my kind of town,seeing as I'm now married to a Clare woman. I'm in Kingso, it really is the best ! You could find yourself with a whale or get shaved up in one of the rooms by a Kerry bird as Goodall looks on, no sleep allowed ! Tiocfy Paddy in Chicago. P.S. Good luck in the Junior Shield final [not another medal for Simba man !] " Paddy O'Kane Chicago

Hi lads, I have just been browsing through the Mals website, very impressive. Looking at the picture from May 1996 from the Star Soccer, I am on the back row, far right - Neeson Adair. What a team! - Big Duff, Jim, Simba, Geordie, Ciaran, Tucker, Kingso, Artie, McCrystal, Briarso (is that how you spell his nickname?!!) wee Patrick, Colm. WWW - did he ever get his eyes tested, is he still doing goals?! Gerry Adams!! I enjoyed going home after a match and telling my mates that the goal I scored that day was set up by Gerry Adams!! How could I forget Dermot McCoy what a gangster!!!!! And a good team management that year, I really enjoyed working with Gerry Goodall and Jim Robinson. Winners of the League and making it to the 1st round proper of the Irish Cup. One of my best memories was going in for a 50 -50 tackle and bursting the ball!!! THE best team I ever played for and the most hospitable bunch I ever socialised with! Best wishes to the new management team, regards to all the committee who made me feel very welcome and of course best wishes and more success to the Mals. Neeson Adair - no longer playing, it is any wonder as I am married with 5 kids!!
