Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue

AGM
There
was a very good turnout for our AGM which took place on Saturday night last.
The meeting began with a silent prayer for all those who have passed away
during the year after which Packie Hurney presented the Financial Statement to
the meeting. This showed the club to be in a good financial position despite
the extensive development work that had taken place in the club in recent years.
Bernard Shields’ excellent Secretary’s Report gave a comprehensive review of
all club activities throughout the year with some very interesting suggestions
for the future of the club. In his Chairman’s address Tony Mansfield thanked
all those who worked for the club during the year especially those involved in
our two main fundraisers, The Club Bingo and The Joker, as without the work of
these people the club would not be able to exist. Tony also praised all those
who give so much of their time to our Juvenile Section as this is the work
which will ensure that our club will continue to grow and develop in the years
ahead. Finally Tony paid tribute to all the workers involved in the development
work in the club throughout the year as this voluntary labour has given the
club facilities which we can be proud of. The election of officers and
committee then took place.
