Club AGM 2022
Thanks to all who attended the AGM last night in Gullane's. The 2022/23 Committee is as follows:
Chairperson: Claire Dolphin
Secretary: Fiona Maguire
Treasurer: Jim Curley
Assistant Treasurer: John McDonagh
PRO: Geraldine Quinn
Training Officer: Noel Lohan
Environmental Officer: Bríd Lyons
Liaison Officer: Bríd Barrett
Note to members that the following decision was taken at the AGM:
In order to mitigate the impact on the environment and address car-parking issues, it is recommended that walkers car-pool where possible. Due to the increase in fuel costs, it is also recommended that each passenger should make a contribution of €5 for a journey of less than 20kms and €10 for a journey in excess of 20kms to the driver on the day of the walk.
A schedule of walks was drawn up after the AGM and will be available online in the next couple of days. A hard copy will be posted to each member in the next couple of weeks.
