Social Club History In December, 1978 there was a real possibility of Armagh Harps folding completely with a terrible apathy having crept in throughout the previous year. Eamon O’Hagan and John McCarthy in consultation with the newly elected chairman John Morrison decided to bid for the site known as Gillis Houses on the Loughall Road. With the assistance of Mr. Barney McManus, the site was purchased for a sum of £10,000 since that day in January, 1979 the club has gone from strength to strength culminating in the recent purchase of Abbey Park, a 7 acre site near our club on which pitches have now been developed. By July 1979 the old houses had been flattened and the site cleared and the first building begun. By March 1980 the building was complete and ready for use and we are happy to record the club opened its doors for community service on Wednesday 2nd April 1980. The highlight of our club life was the visit of Mr. Patrick MacFlynn, President of the GAA to officially open our premises on Wednesday 28th May, 1980. |
