A well attended annual general meeting took place last Saturday evening. There was a lot of business to be done on the night with a changing of the guard. The outgoing Secretary Ruairi O’ Connell gave a detailed account of the years activities on and off the playing field. Tributes were paid to Michael Carey outgoing Chairman, Ruairi o’ Connell out going Secretary, PJ Ryan out going North Board rep and George Ryan outgoing Treasurer for the work done over the past year. Michael, PJ and Ruairi have been involved in the Juvenile club over the past ten years during which each of them have served in many different roles as Club Officers and they were also involved in the preparation of teams. Tributes were also paid to a former Chairman Tony Rabbitte who passed away during the year.
On the night the following Club Officers were elected Michael Small Chairman, Philip Delaney Secretary, Vera Hogan Treasurer and George Ryan Vice Chairman. Juvenile team managers elected for the year elected were as follows U16 Manager Jimmy Stapleton Selectors Tom Hurley, Kieran Hackett and Martin Ryan U14 Manager Jimmy Slattery, U12 to be confirmed at the next meeting, U 10 James Gould and U8 Philip Delaney. Managers elected are asked to confirm their selectors for the next meeting.
The weather last weekend dictated the numbers participating in sporting events around the country, but for the Bush & Briar Ramblers it was business as usual with organised walks on Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday 25th Jan, 15 walkers completed an interesting and unusual variation of the Knockalough Loop, with of course the regular heavy rain that has accompanied most of our walks to date. You could say “Knockalough Loop with a twist”
On Sunday 26th Jan, we had 6 walkers take to the Devils Bit in conditions that were not as bad as forecast but still gave us a taste of 4 seasons in just a few hours. We went off the beaten track to see some of the hidden beauty that our local mountain has to offer. “The Devils Bit but not as you know it”
Thanks to everybody who turned up for our walks and helped to make them so enjoyable
and a special word of welcome to those who joined us for the first time last weekend.
We hope to see you all out again in the future.
