AGM
Our Senior AGM will take place on Sunday, the 2nd of December at 3pm in our Community Rooms. All registered club members are advised to attend. We would require the services of a new secretary and treasurer.
If you would like to get involved in any aspect as the local GAA club is a great way to forge great and often life-long friendships, please contact club secretary, Conor Culloo for any motions and nominations.
This is to be preceded by our Juvenile AGM which will now be held in the Community Rooms at 2pm (2nd December). We appeal to all club patrons, particularly the parents of the club’s juveniles to attend this important meeting and help make plans for 2019.
This is an important meeting and we would like to further hear your views on how we can improve our Academy and Juvenile club. The Juvenile section of the club will also require the services of a new Secretary for the coming year.
Any nominations can be sent to tboyle247@gmail.com before Friday, 30th November. All parents of underage players are invited to attend on the night.
