Tang GAA club gets ready to mark 60 years

One of Westmeath's most renowned GAA clubs is preparing for a bumper Easter Sunday celebration as part of its marking of 60 years in existence.

Tang GAA, formed in 1966, will celebrate the milestone with a plethora of events on Sunday, April 5, beginning with an anniversary mass at 10am in St Mary's Church of the Immaculate Conception, Tang, where the club will remember and honour its deceased members, players, supporters and families who helped shape the club through the years.

From there, the celebrations continue with the club's annual Easter Egg Hunt at 11.30am at Tang GAA pitch, followed by community fun games and a parish blitz, which provides a chance for adults and kids to pull on the boots.

The celebrations will conclude that evening with a Tang GAA community social night in Cooney’s Hotel, Ballymahon. The club said it looks forward to meeting old friends, welcoming familiar faces back to the club, and hearing stories from years gone by.

The club also invites past captains from teams to join them for a chat to reflect on the proud history of Tang GAA.

Tang GAA has urged everyone to spread the word and reach out to past players, members and friends of the club, and to new families in the community, to ask them to join the club for a historic occasion.
