Strategy Update:
Thank you to all who attended the Strategy Update on Thursday 03rd Dec in the main hall of the club. The 6 main themes and the corresponding recommendations were reviewed and there was very positive and constructive engagement from all on the night. We will now move to the execution of the recommendations that are contained in the report. In January we will look for volunteers to join the strategy teams to put together action plans to implement the recommendations that have been made. We encourage members to get involved and if you would like to be involved please call Brendan McGrath (087-2747127). A reminder will be issued in January.
