Club Notes 17/11/2024
Good evening. 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.

Condolences
Blessington LGFA is saddened to hear of Brendan Martin’s passing. A true gentleman who was so proud of being part of the roots of Ladies Football.
The Brendan Martin Cup is presented annually to the winners of the All Ireland Senior Ladies Football Championship
We had the pleasure of Brendan’s company at our LGFA 25th Anniversary celebrations in 2018 (pictured). We extend our most heartfelt condolences to his wife Mairead Cronin, who was a teacher in St Mary’s JNS for many years and always herself supported the girls of our club.
Thinking of all the family at this sad time. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis
