County Club Forum
Our Club had a full attendance at The County Club Forum on Saturday last.
The morning session was devoted to discussions on Clubs, Players, Fixtures, Registration and methods of registration. A wide range of issues and ideas were put forward by the Clubs of the County.
The afternoon session was devoted to the Kerry GAA Strategic plan for the next three years. A recap on the last Strategic plan was presented by County Secretary Peter Twiss and over all Kerry did very well in achieving its goals laid out on that plan.
All of the various challenges facing clubs were discussed and outlined in a very good discussion. The County Chairman Tim Murphy closed the day with a promise of continued support in every way for all the Clubs in The County.
