Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Club
Membership 2023
Membership Open
Club membership is open to Adult Players, Adult Non-Players, Juvenile Players and Families and New Members are always welcome.
Membership fees for 2023 season are now due and can be paid online by clicking the registration link below.
The membership fee received is funnelled towards the maintenance of facilities, playing equipment, affiliation fees, insurance, utility bills, team preparation and other administrative costs. Our club is reliant on members subscriptions to cover these running costs as the GAA at Central Level (Croke Park), Provincial Level (Munster) or County Level (Kerry) do not provide grants, finance, or assistance to cover these general running costs.
The membership fee rates for 2023 season, as set by the Club Executive, and approved at the A.G.M. are detailed below:
Rationale for 2023 Membership Rate Increase
Strong inflation over the past year has resulted in significant increases in club running costs coupled with a corresponding large increase in playing numbers that has led to extra teams, affiliations, equipment, and training costs across all teams.
While we are delighted with the continued increase in usage of our wonderful walking track facility as it provides an excellent safe and illuminated amenity for the community; we do divert a portion of the membership fees to help cover the maintenance, lighting and associated costs required to sustain the facility.
Furthermore, we are continuing the improvements to our facilities, for the betterment of our club members (i.e., playing surface, stand, spectator amenities) and the wider community (walking track).
Finally, we are proud to keep the rates the same for our O.A.P. members, GAA-4-ALL and non-playing members.
Value For Money
Membership of Milltown-Castlemaine GAA Club represents terrific value when compared to all other activities in the locality; the cost per session for attending a training session or match, across all teams, is intentionally kept to less than €2 per session.
- There is no ‘pay-for-play’ with the GAA Club; the club does not collect €2, €3 or €5 per session for the use of the facility; membership covers playing costs for the season.
- The average cost per session drops dramatically, where teams train and/or play, more than 2 times a week.
Membership Day
We plan to have a Club Membership Day at Paddy Burke Memorial Park, in the near future, where people will have the option to join in person on that day by cash, cheque or card.
Please check our club notes and social media channels for details of when this will happen.
