A
Short History of the Penrith Gaels Club
Penrith
Gaels had its humble beginnings in the early 70's with the formation of a
gaelic football team.
A few dedicated
people decided to run dances to fund this team. From then it has gone from
strength to strength with the establishment of a hurling side and by the early
80's they had formed a very successful school of Irish Dancing, social Golf
Club, Soccer teams and a Drama School. Penrith Gaels also boasted a travel
club, which helped their members save for a trip home to Ireland. Around about
this time Penrith Gaels changed its name to 'Penrith Gaels Cultural and Sporting
Association Limited'
Even way back then the Penrith Gaels Committee along with their members had
high aspirations of building club premises in the area. Fund raising dances
were held on a monthly basis in local halls. Through the 80's and 90's the
above sub clubs maintained a very competitive standard in their fields.
The social and
fund raising dances continued and we also held our very successful biannual
'Ireland Over Here' Festivals at Penrith football Stadium. These festivals
were attended by the Penrith community and people from all over NSW.
It wasn't until the mid 90's that the current premises became available. At
that time they were known as the 'Kingswood Squash Courts'. The committee
along with the extremely helpful Mt Isa Irish Association decided to purchase
the building. We began our renovations early in 1997 and to the credit of
all our voluntary labour, both Men and Women who gave up their weekends and
evenings our beautiful club was finally opened in August 1997.
Since then, with the help of management and staff our club has thankfully
been thriving, and with a few of the dedicated volunteers we now boast a wonderful
auditorium and entertainment room at the rear of the premises.
Our club as you have just read was built from pure persistence of the committee
and members and we are wonderfully proud of our achievements. So whether you
are a staff member, club member, sporting representative or guest, we would
like you also to be proud of the 'Wee club with a big heart'.
