INVITATION TO CLUB COMHAIRLE.

STARTING ON TUESDAY 28TH SEPTEMBER AT 7:30PM

& CONTINUING ON
FOUR SUCCESSIVE TUESDAY EVENINGS AT DUNAVIL.

OBJECT - TO ADVISE PEOPLE IN BEST PRACTICE FOR THE PRESENT & FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CLUB & ENSURE THE VERY CONTINUATION OF THE CLUB; TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN THE CLUB; TO BROADEN THE WORKER BASE AVAILABLE TO THE CLUB.

AN ATTENDANCE OF 40 MINIMUM IS NEEDED TO MAKE COMHAIRLE VIABLE.

IT’S YOUR CLUB, IT’S YOUR CHOICE.

AT AN RIOCHT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING IN NOVEMBER 2003 WE ALMOST FAILED TO ELECT A COMMITTEE TO RUN THE CLUB WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE CLUB CLOSING DOWN. IT IS THAT SERIOUS. WE HAD ESTIMATED A NEED FOR 20 PEOPLE TO EFFICIENTLY RUN THE CLUB WITHOUT ANYONE HAVING TOO MUCH TO DO. WE ONLY MANAGED TO GET LESS THAN HALF THAT NUMBER! THIS IS PREVENTING THE CLUB REALISE ITS FULL POTENTIAL AND SERIOUSLY THREATENING ITS VERY EXISTENCE.

CLUB COMHAIRLE IS OUR ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION, TO SPREAD THE LOAD SO NO ONE IS AGAIN PUT OFF ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY BY FEAR OF HAVING TOO MUCH TO DO OR BEING LEFT ISOLATED TO DO IT.

WHAT IS A GAA CLUB?
IS IT JUST A SPORTS CLUB?
IS IT A COMMUNITY ORGANISATION?
IS IT A CULTURAL ORGANISATION?
IS IT SOMEWHERE TO DUMP THE CHILDREN?
IS IT A SMALL BUSINESS?
WHAT IS IT TO YOU & YOURS?

CLUB COMHAIRLE WILL HELP US DECIDE WHERE WE ARE?
WHERE WE WANT TO GO?
HOW WE CAN GET THERE?
& HOW WE WILL KNOW?

ONCE WE WORK OUT THE ANSWERS THEN WE CAN DECIDE TO PROGRESS OR NOT. ITS OUR CHOICE. TO DO THAT WE NEED A GOOD ATTENDANCE OF A CROSS SECTION OF CLUB LIFE.

COMMITTEE, PAST COMMITTEE, PLAYERS, FORMER PLAYERS, YOUTH PLAYERS, PARENTS, LADIES, SUPPORTERS, SPECTATORS, DETRACTORS, PEOPLE FROM LIKE MINDED ORGANISATIONS.

IT REALLY IS YOUR CHOICE. WE CAN ALL MAKE EXCUSES NOT TO ATTEND.

IT MAY WELL BE THE LAST EXCUSE WE NEED TO MAKE.
