Club Notes 27th November 2022

The Clubs AGM was held last Friday November 25th in the Clubhouse with a slightly disappointing attendance present. David Randles chaired a comprehensive review of the clubs activities this year and paid tribute to all those who undertook various roles from officers to coaches to all the various sub committee members. He paid particular tribute to Sharon O’Grady for her role as chair of the Social committee as Sharon is stepping down from her role. She will no doubt keep herself busy on the coaching side.

The Club finances were also discussed with particular emphasis on a renewed effort to fundraise. With our facilities upgraded in recent years it comes with an increased maintenance cost . The ever busy Field and Facilities committee were rightly lauded for their efforts in keeping our playing surfaces in top conditions and everyone from grass cutters to pitch liners were suitably praised.

Donal O Leary gave a comprehensive round up of the Club Juvenile activities and with over a dozen teams between boys and girls it certainly is a busy department. The need to recruit new members and retain existing ones is of course of the utmost importance and all club members are being urged to pay their part on that count. A sub committee headed up by Vice Chairperson Liam McGuire will also be established to research and nominate a Club Coaching Officer. This process will commence shortly with the hope of being completed by early 2023.

The following will serve as officers for the year ahead.
