Lismore take stock

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 also they thanked all other sponsors and the town of Lismore for all their support of the club in the various fundraising events .

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.
