Club Notes 11/11/2024
Good morning. This year’s AGM will take place on Monday 18th November at 8pm sharp in the No.1 school. Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting. Emails have been sent out to all paid members re agenda, motions, and nominations. If you haven’t received your copy please contact Gillian secretary.blessington.wicklow@gaa.ie.
There have been many names put forward to join our executive committee which is always a positive for the club as it’s great to get new views and fresh ideas for next season. As there are more nominations than seats available there will be ballots on the night and this is your chance to have your vote. Only paid members are entitled to vote on the night. Looking forward to seeing as many as possible there and welcoming in the new executive committee.
