We are exploring the exciting possibility of starting up Gaelic4Mothers&Others (G4MO)! This initiative is all about promoting physical activity in a fun, non-competitive, and social environment.
We want to hear from you to gauge interest and gather ideas to ensure G4MO is a success in Downings. Your feedback will be instrumental in making G4MO a reality at our club.
