Currin GFC Notes

AGM

The feel good factor and positivity that has been engendered during our 125th year was once again evident on Saturday night last when a bumper crowd gathered for our Annual General Meeting in the Community Centre, Scotshouse.

The outgoing secretary, John Connolly in his report, congratulated  the Senior team on achieving Division 1 status.  He said it will be great that they will be playing at the top level in 2012. The Treasurers report was as usual presented in a meticulous fashion by Brian Mc Cabe. David Rafferty, Vice Chairman  drew a standing ovation on the production of his 125 report. Mary Mc Entee outlined the Youth activities and thanked the coaches and parents for their support. The outgoing chairman  Hugo Clerkin thanked everyone for their work for the club especially those who did so voluntarily and commented on how priveledged he was to have been chairman in these successful years. In particular he congratulated and thanked the management team of Gerry Glancy and Michael Slowey  and all the players. These players primarily played for the honour of wearing  ‘the Currin Jersey’ and would do so next year as a senior club. The 125 sub committee under the stewardship of David Rafferty recieved great praise for their organisation of all events throughout the year and which culminated in the marvellous Celebration Dinner a few weeks ago.
