We cannot fund any expenditure where we don’t have receipts/invoices or confirmation from the National Governing Body.

Receipts/Invoices must be in the name of the individual (or parent if under 18yrs) or if it is a group booking the individual must be named on the invoice.

The leisure access card is to assist individuals selected, in the last 12 months, by their National Governing Body to compete at Northern Ireland, Ulster/Provincial/equivalent, Ireland, GB or County GAA level, with access to gym and swim facilities operated by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.

Where National Governing Bodies do not select National/Provincial Teams, individuals who have attained a high standard will be considered e.g. Northern Ireland, Ulster/Provincial or Irish Champion.

National/Provincial level performance squads may be considered.
