End of Season Get-together Cancelled

Unfortunately we have to cancel Friday night's end of season dinner and drinks which was to be held in Moving Stairs. We'll wait until we start our new season in September now to see if we can rearrange it.

Enjoy the Summer!

Update - End of Season Night Out

It looks like we may need to push our end of season get-together out to Friday 2nd July. It is to be held in Moving Stairs, meeting at 8.30pm for a meal and drinks. A text will be sent out and I will confirm these arrangements here once we have heard back from members that this date will suit.

Congratulations to Ken Moran, St Marys BC, Carrick

Ken Moran from our neighbouring club in Carrick on Shannon was awarded the Overall Club Volunteer of the year award at the recent Badminton Ireland Club and Volunteer awards ceremony 2010.

We want to send huge congratulations to Ken, he has done trojan work for the Carrick club down through the years and it is wonderful that this has been acknowledged at national level. Well done Ken.

AGM

The club's AGM took place last night and as Sean, our Chairman pointed out, we had a great turnout despite the fact that it was a beautiful sunny evening, there were fourteen members in attendance.

It was a very positive meeting reflecting on a brilliant year for the club and hopefully we can build on it and bring the club to another level next year, increase membership, bring in more coaching opportunities and maybe hold in-house competitions for everyone to take part in.

There were few changes last night but Elaine has opted to step down from the Secretary's role so I, Liz, will be taking over there for next year along with the PRO function. A huge thank you to Elaine for the work she has done in the past year, I hope I can fulfill the role as well as she did.

Finally, the end of season night out has been agreed for Friday June 25th probably at 9pm and I will confirm the venue here as soon as it has been completely finalised. It would be great to see as many members as possible out for the night, as a club we have a lot to celebrate.
