For my Gaisce this year I will be trying to achieve the bronze medal. To complete the requirements for this medal I must do 13 weeks of community service, 13 weeks learning a new skill, 26 weeks of physical recreation, which for me will be football, and finally an adventure journey which is the camping trip we did the day the Junior Cert results came out and which had to include a 22km hike. You can read about all of the activities in the subpages below and the camping trip can be read under 'Trips'.
Community Service
My community service will be helping coach kids from the age of 4-6 in Loughlinstown Centre. The coach I that will be helping is John, I already knew him because I play for Park Celtic which is a better team than Lakelands FC. I will be helping for 13 enjoyable weeks. I have already done a few weeks and so far it is very fun. Daniel Wall is also doing this for his community service, unfortunately Daniel plays for Lakelands which is a huge disappointment.
Pottery
My new skill for Gaisce is going to be pottery. I will be doing this for 13 weeks. I will be posting pictures of my finished pieces on this page.
