The Lismore Camogie AGM 20188 took
place on Thursday November 29th in Lismore Community Centre. There was a
reasonably good attendance at this AGM and business of the night began with
outgoing Chairperson Jim Russell opened the meeting with a minutes silence for
all members who lost their loved ones over the 2018 year. He went on to
congratulate all who got married and all who had babies in 2018.
Outgoing secretary Marie Russell read
the minutes of the 2017 AGM followed by the Chairpersons’ address and
secretary's report. Marie’s secretary's report was a very comprehensive report
on all what happened in the 2018 season. Both Marie in her report and Jims
Chairpersons address reiterated that eventho' that nothing was won in 2018 both
were very proud of all the work being done in the underage scene. Both said
that it was great to see new members in the U6's U8's U10's. It was very
encouraging to see these age groups participating in blitzes throughout
the summer and into the Autumn.
Jim and Marie thanked Lismore GAA for
the use of their facilities and also Ballysaggart GAA and Ballyduff GAA for the
use of their facilities throughout the year. Both thanked the clubs main
sponsor Michael O Leary (Red House and Auctioneer and Valuer) and
Caithriona Doyle who kindly sponsored the clubs printing throughout the year

EDIT: Many thanks to Mary Russell for
forwarding her notes to me and allowing me to publish them here each week over
the past number of years. I was always fully informed with what Mary sent for
both club and county and I wish her the best of luck in her retirement. I have
a feeling however that we have not seen the end of Mary’s involvement with Camogie
and that we will continue to see her involved in one way or another.
Should any club who are involved in
women’s sport, the sport does not matter and want to get some free
publicity for their club by means of uploading their notes onto this site if
they email them to me at keanethomas1973@gmail.com
I will more than gladly put them online as soon as possible after getting them.
