AGM
Our Annual General Meeting took place in Abbeyside School Hall on Friday
night last and it was great to see such a big crowd not alone present but also
contribute to a very informative and constructive debate on a number of
matters. Club Treasurer Packie Hurney once again presented an excellent set of
accounts which laid out very clearly the huge costs associated with running our
club and meeting our obligations arising from our recent development works.
Packie was deservedly praised for the huge time and commitment he puts into administering
our accounts, one which carries a huge burden in a voluntary organisation.
Jonathan O’Donovan’s Secretary’s report covered every aspect of our Club’s
activities over the past 12 months and again Jonathon was thanked not alone for
producing such a good report but also for the efficient manner in which he
carries out his job throughout the year.
In his Chairman’s address Bernard Shields gave an excellent speech where
he thanked all those who worked so hard for both the Adult and Juvenile
Sections during the year. Whilst it was disappointing to end the year without
any Senior Honours this year Bernard thanked the players and managers for their
commitment and called for a big effort on the playing fields next year. Bernard
also paid special tribute to all those who worked so tirelessly on our Club
Development work not alone this year but also over the past 4 years. It is
worth noting that since we began these works in excess of €450,000 has been
spent in the club grounds, which is a remarkable figure in such difficult
economic circumstances. Bernard also said it is great to see the new pitch
ready for use in 2015 and indeed two matches took place on the pitch over the
last number of days.
The election of officers then took place with the following elected:-
Presidents: Austin Flynn, Liam
Enright, Éamonn Keane, Joseph Organ, Jimmy O'Leary, Fr. Michael Enright, P.E.
Vice Presidents: Fr. Michael Brennock, OSA,
Fr. Colin Fives, OSA, Fr. Ned Hassett, PP.
