CLUB NOTES
3rd January 2012
Happy New Year
A New Year has arrived and with it new challenges, plenty of opportunities and even higher expectations. A new year also symbolises a new beginning of a better tomorrow. It is the time of year to cherish the good memories and forget every bad memory of the past twelve months and start again. Let’s all look forward to a good year ahead and on behalf of the club I wish you and your families a safe and happy new year filled with new hope, new joy and new beginnings and I hope that your dreams and aspirations all come true throughout the year.
Annual General Meeting
Our Annual General Meeting will be held next Thursday 12th January at 7.00pm in the clubrooms. At this stage nomination forms have been circulated to all club members and should be returned to club secretary Martina McKeown before the required date. You will also note that the following outgoing officers chairman Jimmy McGeough, vice-chairman Cormac McFadden and players-representative Anthony Tate are not seeking re-election. Please remember that to be eligible for election to an officer position you must be nominated by at least two club members and please, please check with members you nominate to ascertain if they are willing to go forward for election. The annual general meeting is the most important meeting of the year and ALL club members are invited to attend in order to reflect on the previous twelve months and to look ahead for the upcoming year. It is also a time to elect a new management committee and to communicate with other members about how the club is functioning and therefore it is essential that as a club member you should take an active interest and participate in the affairs of the club.
Annual Yearbook 2011
A gentle reminder that this year’s annual yearbook entitled “Green Pride, It’s In Our Blood” will be launched at the annual general meeting next Thursday night. It is a pictorial account, an album of memories, that follows the ups and downs, laughter and tears, victories and defeats of the men (and boys) wearing the ‘Green & White’ jersey over the past twelve months. The yearbook also contains a selection of photographs taken from other events held over the year and I hope the images I have chosen will leave a lasting impression. If you are interested in buying a copy of the yearbook please send me a text message 086-1041165 or an email to rockcorrygaa@live.ie confirming your name and details.
