Dundalk Gaels host their first in person AGM in three years

Earlier this month Dundalk Gaels, for the first time in three years, hosted an in person AGM in their clubrooms. With a moderate number in attendance, the officers who held positions in 2022 remained in place heading into the new year ahead.

Chairperson Daniel Watters began his opening address by expressing his delight with the return of the AGM to the clubrooms.

"I'd like to welcome you all down to our first in person AGM in 3 years. It’s great to have this back in our clubhouse just as it has been to have Pairc na Gael re-opened fully since earlier this year"

He also went onto praise the fundraising committee for the successful year that was had off the field, with the return of The great Gaels walk, the five a side tournament and the Easter camp, to name a few, before praising all the underage coaches of boys and girls teams who had worked tirelessly and enjoyed a fruitful year on the field.

"Personally, thanks to you all for your contributions to the club over the last year and for any assistance you provided me with. Theirs too many people to name in this regard, but thank you all.

"As with last year I’ll finish with a plea, if there is any way you can assist the club please do, we are all volunteers with the aim of improving the club and getting as many people as possible playing and involved.

"We look forward to the next year and what it brings. This is an exciting time for the for the club and it’s up to each and every one of us to make sure we make the most if it."

"The club is doing quite well at the minute but with plans in place for floodlights etc, we can never stop fundraising" stressed long term treasurer Alan Martin, who spoke about their finances were in a healthy place.

"Any ideas are always welcome for fundraising, but all in all we are in a good position."
